Plugin (Syncany API Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- org.syncany.plugins.Plugin

Direct Known Subclasses:

TransferPlugin, WebInterfacePlugin
```
public abstract class Plugin
extends java.lang.Object
```
A plugin can be used to store Syncany's repository files on any remote location. Implementations of the Plugin class identify a storage/transfer plugin.
Using the 'id' attribute, plugins can be loaded by the Plugins class. Once a plugin is loaded, a corresponding TransferSettings object must be created and initialized. From the connection object, a TransferManager can then be used to upload/download files to the repository.
Per naming convention, plugins must end by the name Plugin and extend this class. Furthermore, all plugin classes must reside in a package org.syncany.plugins.plugin-id, where plugin-id is the identifier specified by getId().
