public interface SciJavaPlugin
```
Top-level interface for plugins. Plugins discoverable at runtime must implement this interface and be annotated with @Plugin.
What all plugins have in common is that they are declared using an annotation (@Plugin), and discovered if present on the classpath at runtime.

The core types of plugins are as follows:
- App - metadata about a SciJava application.
- Command - plugins that are executable. These plugins typically perform a discrete operation, and are accessible via the application menus.
- ConsoleArgument - plugins that handle arguments passed to the application as command line parameters.
- Converter - plugins which translate objects between data types.
- Display - plugins that visualize objects, often used to display module outputs.
- IOPlugin - plugins that read or write data.
- PreprocessorPlugin - plugins that perform preprocessing on modules. A preprocessor plugin is a discoverable ModulePreprocessor.
- PostprocessorPlugin - plugins that perform postprocessing on modules. A PostprocessorPlugin is a discoverable ModulePostprocessor.
- Platform - plugins for defining platform-specific behavior.
- ScriptLanguage - plugins that enable executing scripts in particular languages as SciJava modules.
- Service - plugins that define new API in a particular area.
- Tool - plugins that map user input (e.g., keyboard and mouse actions) to behavior. They are usually rendered as icons in the application toolbar.
- InputWidget - plugins that render UI widgets for the InputHarvester preprocessor.
