## @package lodel.plugins Lodel2 plugins management
#@ingroup lodel2_plugins
#
# Lodel2 plugins are stored in directories
# A typicall lodel2 plugin directory structure looks like :
# - {{__init__.py}}} containing informations like full_name, authors, licence etc.
# - main.py containing hooks registration etc
# - confspec.py containing a configuration specification dictionary named CONFSPEC
#
# All plugins are expected to be found in multiple locations :
# - in the lodel package (lodel.plugins)
# - in the context directorie in a plugins/ dir (symlink to lodel.plugins) <-
#this is obsolete now, since we enforce ALL plugins to be in the lodel package
#
#@todo Check if the symlink in the lodelcontext dir is obsolete !!!
#@warning The plugins dir is at two locations : in lodel package and in
#instance directory. Some stuff seems to still needs plugins to be in
#the instance directory but it seems to be a really bad idea...
