/**
 * For all purposes of loading dynamic resources, the Plugin's class loader should be used
 * (or else, the plugin jar will not be within the class path).
 *
 * A plugin may subclass this abstract base class (but it is optional).
 *
 * The actual implementation of this class is optional, as all functions will be called
 * via reflection. This is to be able to change this interface without the need of
 * recompiling or even breaking the plugins. If your class does not provide a
 * function here (or does provide a function with a mismatching signature), it will not
 * be called. That simple.
 *
 * Or in other words: See this base class as an documentation of what automatic callbacks
 * are provided (you can register yourself to more callbacks in your plugin class
 * constructor).
 *
 * Subclassing Plugin and overriding some functions makes it easy for you to keep sync
 * with the correct actual plugin architecture of JOSM.
