+====== The XIDE plugin system ======
+XIDE comes with a possibility to easily enhance it. [[xide_plugin_sample|Here]] you can find a complete sample (binaries and source) to use and maybe to enhance.
+The core of a plugin is to define a class that inherits from Xide.PluginSystem.Plugin and implements the ''method Initialize()'' and ''propery Name''. Initialize() passes you a PluginService object, with which you can communicate with XIDE. Type self:oService: in the sample to get a list of available methods of this class.
+After you have built your plugin dll, simply copy it in the plugin subdirectory of the XIDE directory, and it will be loaded on the next start of XIDE.
+And this is a sample code by Chris Pyrgas, the author of XIDE:
+<code>using Xide.PluginSystem
+using System.Windows.Forms
+class TestPlugin inherit Xide.PluginSystem.Plugin
+protect oService as PluginService
+virtual method Initialize(_oService as PluginService) as void
+  self:oService := _oService
+  local oMenuItem as MenuItem
+  oMenuItem := MenuItem{"Add some custom text" , PluginMenuItem_Edit_clicked }
+  self:oService:RegisterMenuItem(MainMenuItem.Edit , oMenuItem)
+  oMenuItem := MenuItem{"My Plugin" , PluginMenuItem_Window_clicked }
+  self:oService:RegisterMenuItem(MainMenuItem.Window , oMenuItem)
+return
+method PluginMenuItem_Edit_clicked(o as object,e as EventArgs) as void
+  local oFilePad as FilePad
+  local oEditor as Editor
+  oFilePad := self:oService:GetActiveFilePad()
+  if oFilePad == null
+    return
+  end if
+  oEditor := oFilePad:Editor
+  oEditor:AddLine("")
+  oEditor:AddLine("")
+  oEditor:AddLine("// This is some test entered from the plugin!")
+  oEditor:AddLine("")
+  return
+method PluginMenuItem_Window_clicked(o as object,e as EventArgs) as void
+  local oProject as Project
+  oProject := self:oService:ActiveProject
+  if oProject == null
+    return
+  end if
+  MessageBox.Show("Applications in project " + oProject:Name + " : " +   oProject:GetApplications():Length:ToString() , "Message from plugin!")
+  return
+virtual property Name as string get "A test plugin"
+end class</code>
