Each default plug-in interface can have a different version number. Version numbers increment by a whole number when the API is updated by Sun Microsystems, Inc. All custom plug-ins must use the methods in the current version of the default plug-in API.
If you created a custom plug-in based on an earlier default plug-in version, you must update your custom plug-in to use the new version of all updated methods, and you must increment its version number to reflect the current version number of the default plug-in.
The system does not load plug-ins with version numbers earlier than the current default version number. Your plug-in must have a version number greater than the current default plug-in, but less than the next whole number. For example, if you are writing, or have created in the past, a custom plug-in for csIDatabaseLookup, which is currently at version 2.0, your plug-in version number must be greater than 2.0 and less than 3.0.
The following table lists the current version of each plug-in API.
