<type> Element

The <type> element names the base component type of this component. This element is a child of the <extends>, <componentRefList>, and <componentRef> elements.

The <type> element has one required attribute of type systemName, name, which is the name of the system type component that serves as the base type. If the specified type is one that is defined by a plug-in, pluginName must be prefixed to the type name, such as pluginName#typeName.
