How do I create a plugin ?

The easiest way to create a plugin is to implement the net.modera.shovel.resourceproviders.DiscoverableResourceProvider interface and place it to your class-path, currently your class must resided in net.modera.shovel.resourceprovider so the shovel would able to discover it. Also, do not forget to annotate your implementation with the org.springframework.stereotype.Component annotation because the Spring Autowiring facilities are used to load plugins dynamically.
