!!! The plugin.xml
The d3web software makes heavy use of plugins to extend its functionalities, using the JPF plugin-framework ([JPF|http://jpf.sourceforge.net/]). The plugins need to be configured using plugin.xml files in each binary project (jar-archive).
At line 3 removed 3 lines
The general structure of the XML file is described in the [JPF tutorial|http://jpf.sourceforge.net/de/tutorial.html].
Therefore, we focus on the parts, that are specific for the d3web development.
A minimalistic example defining only one {{ExtensionPoint}} is given as follows:

%%prettify
{{{
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE plugin PUBLIC "-//JPF//Java Plug-in Manifest 1.0" "http://jpf.sourceforge.net/plugin_1_0.dtd">
<!-- This plugin only defines extension points for CasePersistenceHandler and CaseConversionHandler. -->
<plugin id="de.d3web.casepersistence" version="0.0.1">
<extension-point id="CasePersistenceHandler">
<parameter-def id="class" />
<parameter-def id="name" />
<parameter-def id="description" />
<parameter-def id="version" />
<parameter-def id="priority" type="number" />
</extension-point>

!! Add extensions using an existing extension-point
At line 8 added 4 lines
A plugin can define new extension points, but can also extend existing extension points of other plugins.
The defined extension point specifies that each extension has to give values for class, name, description, version, and priority.
This has to be defined by each extension point; an extension point further can require additional value, for example the specification of a file name.
