Configuring plugins

Your plugin.xml file contains nearly all of the high-level information about what's included in your plugin.What's not described here could include any Spring beans you're overriding or database tables you're adding.

For the references for plugin.xml file elements, see Plugin XML reference and UI components XML reference.
