View source for Enhanced Plugin System

== Proposal ==
*Move the plugin system from Stendhal into Marauroa core.
*Provide hook system for the plugins to interact with Marauroa life cycle

== Identified hook points ==
*Object added to Zone
**Query the extension to plug in any action when an object is added to a zone
*Object removed from Zone
**Query the extension to plug in any action when an object is removed from a zone
*Perception Generation
**Query the extension to plug in any changes to the perception of an object
*[[Client Object]] definition
**Plug into the definition of the client class
*After RPWorld is initialized
**Action to perform after the world is initialized (all classes are defined)
*Database Update/Creation
**Update the database. Register/Update DAO's here as well

'''Note:''' I'm sure there are more hook points...

== Proposed Interface ==
Of course the names of the Interface and class needs to be updated.
[http://simple-marauroa.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/simple-marauroa/trunk/Simple-Server/src/simple/server/extension/SimpleServerExtension.java?revision=101&view=markup Proposed Interface]

This interfaced has been already ported in git branch server_extenstions for further testing/evaluation.

See related thread at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/arianne/forums/forum/3192/topic/4453500

== Notes ==
*Most of the plugin hook points happen a lot earlier than the plugins are initialized right now (in Stendhal). part of the change is also initialize/registering them earlier so they can hook into early parts of the life cycle like Database update.
