The <dependencyList> element is a child of the <plugin> element and is used to declare a list of other plug-ins on which this plug-in depends. It has no attributes and contains one or more <pluginRef> elements that identify a dependency for this plug-in. When the plug-in is deployed, the N1 SPS software checks against these dependencies.
The <pluginRef> element is a child of the <dependencyList> element and is used to declare a reference to another plug-in. The <pluginRef> element has two required attributes:
name – The name of the referenced plug-in. The name attribute has a maximum length of 64. Plug-in names follow a structure similar to com.sun.solaris.
version – The minimum version of the referenced plug-in. The referenced plug-in must be installed on the system with this version or higher.
The <pluginRef> element contains no child elements.
