[annotator-dev] packaging plugins

Sat Apr 26 17:14:46 UTC 2014

A few more questions.

How do I declare dependencies between plugins? "require()" satisfies the
code dependency, but what I need to check is not the exported objects from
the other plugin, but the presence of the plugin, loaded in the current
annotator instance.

Should I simply manually check @core.plugins.whatever, or is there a better
way to do this?

Also, how do I declare conflicts between mutually exclusive plugins?

Is there a clear, declarative way to do that, or do I have to add runtime
checks for both ends?
