You can add external plug-ins that are created as HTML5 applications to the Main
menu. You cannot add the plug-ins that have the Only for Legacy Manage main
menu option selected. And, you cannot add native application plug-ins
either.
Note: If you add an external plug-in as the first item in the Main menu, the menu
item shows in the correct order. However, the plug-in does not open when the
user logs in. Instead, a standard page or a plug-in that you have created using
the Plugin API Framework that is next in the order is opened.
