The old `GremlinPlugin` interface formerly resided +in the `org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.groovy.plugin` package of `gremlin-groovy`. This interface was replaced by an +interface of the same name in 3.2.4, which now resides in the `org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.jsr223` package in +`gremlin-core`. Obviously, existing plugins will need to be updated to use this new interface. + +The plugin model has changed slightly to be more generic and not specifically bound to Groovy based script engines. +Under the new model, the plugin simply returns `Customizer` instances that can be applied generically to any +`ScriptEngine` or specifically to a particular `ScriptEngine`. More details can be found in the +link:http://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/x.y.z/dev/provider/#gremlin-plugins[Provider Documentation] + Graph Database Providers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
