[jdev] Re: how to implement my plugin as a component to be startedwithin the start of wildfire !

Hey Abdicative,

You may want to ask this question in our forums so you can get a faster 
answer. :)

You can take a look at the SearchPlugin to see how to register a new 
component using a plugin. As you will see there is no need to get the 
InternalComponentManager instance and ask it to start. Basically, you just 
need to register the new component/s provided by your plugin. The following 
code should give you an idea on how to achieve that. Oh, and remember to 
unregister the component when the plugin is being destroyed/removed.

        componentManager = ComponentManagerFactory.getComponentManager();
        componentManager.addComponent(serviceName, this);

Regards,
