A plugin is a way for a third party to extend the functionality of an application. A plugin implements extension points
declared by application or other plugins. Also a plugin can define extension points.
**NOTE:** Starting with version 0.9 you can define an extension directly in a jar (in classpath). See [WhazzupGreeting](https://github.com/decebals/pf4j/blob/master/demo/app/src/main/java/ro/fortsoft/pf4j/demo/WhazzupGreeting.java) for a real example.
