I will venture a guess. As we may or may not know Eclipse is an open source project aimed at java development. Plug-ins are extensions of the base environment, they allow us to encapsulate, or wrap, at run time, a systems of tools that provide desired functionality. In the case of VistALink, the desire is to make socket-based connections to a VistA system. Further, the plug-in would most likely provide the foundations for RPC Broker-based communication. This is a primative explanation at best.
