Plug-In Descriptor File

The plugin-descriptor.xml defines the sample plug-in. Look at the following items in the example below:

• Most attributes to the <plugin> element use standard values. The two exceptions are the name and version attributes.

• The <dependencyList> element tells you that the system plug-in, version 1.0 is required for the sample plug-in to work correctly. The system plug-in is a core part of the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System software and should always exist.

• The <folder> element creates a folder in which Linux objects can be stored.

• The <component> element defines a component type whose backing component is 1.0/components/com/sun/linux/RPM CT.xml.
