\class QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin
\brief The QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin class provides an abstract base for custom QML extension plugins.
\ingroup plugins
QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin is a plugin interface that makes it possible to
create QML extensions that can be loaded dynamically into QML applications.
These extensions allow custom QML types to be made available to the QML engine.
To write a QML extension plugin:
\list
\o Subclass QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin, implement registerTypes() method
to register types using qmlRegisterType(), and export the class using the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2() macro
\o Write an appropriate project file for the plugin
\o Create a \l{Writing a qmldir file}{qmldir file} to describe the plugin
\endlist
QML extension plugins can be used to provide either application-specific or
library-like plugins. Library plugins should limit themselves to registering types,
as any manipulation of the engine's root context may cause conflicts
or other issues in the library user's code.
\section1 An example
Suppose there is a new \c TimeModel C++ class that should be made available
as a new QML element. It provides the current time through \c hour and \c minute
properties, like this:
\snippet examples/declarative/cppextensions/plugins/plugin.cpp 0
\dots
To make this class available as a QML type, create a plugin that registers
this type with a specific \l {QML Modules}{module} using qmlRegisterType(). For this example the plugin
module will be named \c com.nokia.TimeExample (as defined in the project
file further below).
\snippet examples/declarative/cppextensions/plugins/plugin.cpp plugin
\codeline
\snippet examples/declarative/cppextensions/plugins/plugin.cpp export
This registers the \c TimeModel class with the 1.0 version of this
plugin library, as a QML type called \c Time. The Q_ASSERT statement
ensures the module is imported correctly by any QML components that use this plugin.
The project file defines the project as a plugin library and specifies
it should be built into the \c com/nokia/TimeExample directory:
\code
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += qt plugin
QT += declarative
DESTDIR = com/nokia/TimeExample
TARGET = qmlqtimeexampleplugin
...
\endcode
Finally, a \l{Writing a qmldir file}{qmldir file} is required in the \c com/nokia/TimeExample directory
that describes the plugin. This directory includes a \c Clock.qml file that
should be bundled with the plugin, so it needs to be specified in the \c qmldir
file:
\quotefile examples/declarative/cppextensions/plugins/com/nokia/TimeExample/qmldir
Once the project is built and installed, the new \c Time element can be
used by any QML component that imports the \c com.nokia.TimeExample module:
\snippet examples/declarative/cppextensions/plugins/plugins.qml 0
The full source code is available in the \l {declarative/cppextensions/plugins}{plugins example}.
The \l {Tutorial: Writing QML extensions with C++} also contains a chapter
on creating QML plugins.

*/
/*!
\fn void QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin::registerTypes(const char *uri)
Registers the QML types in the given \a uri. Subclasses should implement
this to call qmlRegisterType() for all types which are provided by the extension
plugin.
The \a uri is an identifier for the plugin generated by the QML engine
based on the name and path of the extension's plugin library.
*/
/*!
Constructs a QML extension plugin with the given \a parent.
Note that this constructor is invoked automatically by the
Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2() macro, so there is no need for calling it
explicitly.

\fn void QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin::initializeEngine(QDeclarativeEngine *engine, const char *uri)
Initializes the extension from the \a uri using the \a engine. Here an application
plugin might, for example, expose some data or objects to QML,
as context properties on the engine's root context.
