Yes, you can bundle multiple plugins by listing each QCPlugIn subclass in the Info.plist's QCPlugInClasses. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/QuartzComposer_Patch_PlugIn_ProgGuide/ (read that from start to finish). Can I use those class names in a different plugin later? No, you should not use the same class names in libraries/bundles which may be loaded into the same namespace, as there is no way to know which class implementation will be used, resulting in weird and unpredictable crashes. Give your classes unique names. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingCode/Tasks/NameConflicts.html If you re-use a class in a lot of projects you can define a per-project name for it outside its header (in your project's prefix file, or build settings): #define PLUGIN_USEFUL_HELPER_CLASS_UNIQUE_CLASS_NAME MySeasonalPluginUsefulHelperClass Then have a header which can be the same for all projects: #ifndef PLUGIN_USEFUL_HELPER_CLASS_UNIQUE_CLASS_NAME #error PLUGIN_USEFUL_HELPER_CLASS_UNIQUE_CLASS_NAME is not defined. #endif @interface PLUGIN_USEFUL_HELPER_CLASS_UNIQUE_CLASS_NAME : NSObject { } // ... @end @compatibility_alias UsefulHelperClass PLUGIN_USEFUL_HELPER_CLASS_UNIQUE_CLASS_NAME; And then refer to it as UsefulHelperClass in all your code for all your projects.
