Thanks for the clarification. It'd be helpful if all of the builtin
plugins that supported server only were setup that way. If they're not
already that is.
Could the representations and view plugins also be supported seamlessly
with out user intervention in a static link? Re: the plugins that are
distributed with PV, and enabled by deafult, Couldn't the server side
load trigger the client load automatically? That would be a nice
improvement for the static link case, where we'd still want to make use
of some of the view/rep plugins.

Burlen,
It would work for everything, but for plugins that really need
client-side plugin to be loaded e.g. representation plugins, view
plugins, you should not do this. In other words, any plugin that only
is needed on the data processing side should indeed always use
REQUIRED_ON_SERVER flag. Anything else, shouldn't.

Hi Utkarsh and Andy,
static linking *really* improves performance on Hopper. One issue though is
that plugins are automatically "loaded", so when connecting to a statically
linked server the plugin manager immediately pops up and requests that the
user load all the plugins. Does the REQUIRED_ON_SERVER flag fix this? in
other words is it just for readers? or does it work with other plugins as
well?

By default plugins are treated as "REQUIRED_ON_SERVER" and
"REQUIRED_ON_CLIENT". Simply add a REQUIRED_ON_SERVER flag in your
add_paraview_plugin(...) call.
For example:
ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(MyReader "1.0"
SERVER_MANAGER_XML MyPNGReader.xml
SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES vtkMyPNGReader.cxx
REQUIRED_ON_SERVER)
That should do the trick.
