Hi Noury! Well the internal plugins are part of the vm executable and the external plugins are shipped as separate shared library files. The interface to both variants is the same, but not every vm plugin might work as an external or internal plugin depending on the implementation. I don't know if this is still true, but there was also the idea, that an external plugin "overrides" an internal version. So in the case of a malfunctioning internal plugin, you could ship a new external plugin of the same name that will be used instead of the internal one when placed in a location of the vm plugin paths. But that's all out of my flaky memory and could be totally different nowadays.:)
