Interface Plugin<S>

public interface Plugin<S>

Central interface for plugins for the system. This interface is meant to be extended by concrete plugin interfaces. Its core responsibility is to define a delimiter type and a selection callback with the delimiter as parameter. The delimiter is some kind of decision object concrete plugin implementations can use to decide if they are capable to be executed.
