/**
 * Marker interface for all plugins.
 * 
 * A plugin can be added to the runtime to listen in on step definition, summary
 * printing and test execution.
 * 

 * Plugins are added to the runtime from the command line or by annotating a
 * runner class with {@code @CucumberOptions} and may be provided with a
 * parameter using this syntax {@code com.example.MyPlugin:path/to/output.json}.
 * To accept this parameter the plugin must have a public constructor that
 * accepts one of the following arguments:
 * 

 * {@link String}
 * {@link Appendable}
 * {@link URI}
 * {@link URL}
 * {@link File}
 * 
 * 
 * To make the parameter optional the plugin must also have a public default
 * constructor.
 * 

 * Plugins may also implement one of these interfaces:
 * 

 * {@link ColorAware}
 * {@link StrictAware}
 * {@link EventListener}
 * {@link ConcurrentEventListener}
 *
