Currently, I am working on creating an advanced multi-protocol IM program similar to GAIM or Trillian. However, I wanted to make the program completely extensible so that anyone could create a plug-in with a simple understanding of the application core. I looked at some of the other plug-in engines on CodeProject but couldn’t find any that did exactly what I wanted. In order for those engines to work, they needed to know specific information about all of its plug-ins, which I didn’t want to know. I wanted it so that anyone could create a plug-in without having to recompile the core at all.
