ExternalPluginNamespace

```
public interface ExternalPluginNamespace
```
External Plugins are executable code that the Workspace can execute. An external plugin must define a Capability in the ExternalPluginNamespace. This namespace defines the attributes:
```
 bnd.external.plugin    name of the plugin
 objectClass            the service type of the plugin
 implementation         the implementation class
 
```
There is an annotation ExternalPlugin that can be applied to a plugin.
