> Is it possible for all plugins to suport a common goal that causes the plugin

> Would it be sensical (not to mention possible) to have all plugins suport a
> common goal that causes the plugin to describe itself, its goals and its
> properties? Java annotations could be employed to enable this to described by
> the plugin author (i.e. bean style properties would have to be annotaed as
> plugin properties, same for goals) and then this annoted information could be
> programmatically accessed without the external resources such as generated
> docs or hand written description files. There is the language issue mind you
> but use of standard message catalogs should sort that....
> Anyway just an idea :)
