module Rails
  # The Plugin class should be an object which provides the following methods:
  #
  # * +name+       - Used during initialisation to order the plugin (based on name and
  #                  the contents of <tt>config.plugins</tt>).
  # * +valid?+     - Returns true if this plugin can be loaded.
  # * +load_paths+ - Each path within the returned array will be added to the <tt>$LOAD_PATH</tt>.
  # * +load+       - Finally 'load' the plugin.
  #
  # These methods are expected by the Rails::Plugin::Locator and Rails::Plugin::Loader classes.
  # The default implementation returns the <tt>lib</tt> directory as its <tt>load_paths</tt>, 
  # and evaluates <tt>init.rb</tt> when <tt>load</tt> is called.
  #
  # You can also inspect the about.yml data programmatically:
  #
  #   plugin = Rails::Plugin.new(path_to_my_plugin)
  #   plugin.about["author"] # => "James Adam"
  #   plugin.about["url"] # => "http://interblah.net"
