/** This is a marker interface used to mark plugins in a Jar file
* for retrieval by the Plugins class. In order for a class to be
* treated as a Plugin the following must be true:
*
* (1) The name of the class must end with "Plugin".
* (ie MedianCutFilterPlugin, DirectInput EnvrionmentPlugin)
*
* (2) The class must implement the Plugin interface. It can do
* so directly, through inheritence of either a superclass
* that implements this interface, or through the implementation
* of an interface that extends this interface.
