Plug-ins

IntelliJAF framework is based around the concept of "plug-ins" and "services". It provides a core of plug-ins/services as building block for future applications. There are built in services to allow creating web applications, desktop applications or client/server applications. The basic mechanism to extend an application based on IntelliJAF is to create new plug-ins which can provide new services or new functionalities based on the current application services.
