[[{{#var:G}}Plugin|Plugins]] have long been an essential part
of the {{#var:Pr}} architecture.
{{#var:Pr4}} continues this tradition,
providing ways to incorporate plugins
into many aspects of the program's operation.
In fact, some essential parts of {{#var:Pr4}}
(eg, the OWL Editor) are technically plugins.

Although the list of plugins for {{#var:Pr4}} is still relatively small,
it will undoubtedly grow as existing plugins are converted
and new plugins are created.

=== Finding Plugins ===

==== Auto Update ====

Starting with build 104, {{#var:Pr4}} will find plugins and updates for you.
See the [{{#var:pw}}/EnablePluginAutoUpdate Auto Update] page
for more information.

==== The Plugins Chapter ====

The [[Pr4_UG_rp|Plugins chapter]] contains a page for each plugin,
giving overview information, useful links, etc.
If you have information to offer on a plugin,
please help us all by noting it on the appropriate page.

==== The "Compatible Plugins" Index ====

[{{#var:pw}}/Protege-OWL_4.0 Plugins for Protege 4.x OWL editor] -
the list of "Compatible Plugins" on this page is the result
of a semantic query that gathers all plug-ins
that have declared themselves compatible with the 4.x version
of the Protege-OWL editor.

<b>Note:</b>
If you know of a compatible plugin that is not listed in the Index,
please let us know!

==== CO-ODE OWL Plugins ====

[{{#var:cgc}}/p/co-ode-owl-plugins/ CO-ODE OWL Plugins ] -
the [http://www.co-ode.org/ CO-ODE] project
at the [http://www.manchester.ac.uk/ University of Manchester]
is the biggest contributor of {{#var:Pr4}} plug-ins.
This is a good place to go to download early releases and source code
for CO-ODE developed plug-ins and more...

=== Contributing Plugins ===

If you're a software developer,
it may be worthwhile to consider converting and/or creating plugins
for your project's needs.
{{#var:Pr4}} is built on top
of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSGi OSGi]-compliant plugin mechanism,
so it is easy to implement new menu items, views, and other plugins;
it is even possible to extend the types of plugins that can be created.

If you have developed a plugin for {{#var:Pr4}}
and you would like to contribute it to the community,
please see [{{#var:pw}}/Protege4Contributing#Plugins Contributing plugins].
