public interface IPlatformEnvironment
extends IAdaptable

Plug-in entry defines a packaging reference from a feature to a plug-in. It indicates that the referenced plug-in is to be considered as part of the feature. Note, that this does not necessarily indicate that the plug-in files are packaged together with any other feature files. The actual packaging details are determined by the feature content provider for the feature.

Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients should directly instantiate or subclass the provided implementation of this interface.
