All Superinterfaces:

Ordered

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicAuthProvider, TracepointLogger
```
public interface IDeepPlugin
extends Ordered
```
This type defines a plugin for Deep. These plugins will be loaded via SPI and can provide any functionality from the extension points in Deep.
- IConditional - allow plugin to be conditional
- ISnapshotDecorator - allow plugins to provide additional attributes to captured snapshots
- IAuthProvider - allow plugin to provide additional ways to authenticate
- ResourceProvider - allow plugins to provide additional information for the resource definition
- ITraceProvider - allows plugins to connect deep to a tracing provider
Plugins will be instantiated via the default constructor and then the configure(ISettings, IReflection) function will be invoked.
