Ripla Extension Points

The Ripla platform defines various extension points where you can dynamically plug in functionality. These extension points are implemented using the OSGi Declarative Services approach. A Ripla plug-in, therefore, is an OSGi bundle. Extending Ripla means that you have to write an OSGi component providing an implementation of a service defined by the Ripla platform.
