Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Kontact::Plugin::Plugin ( Core core,
QObject *  parent,
const char *  name 
)

Creates a new Plugin, note that name parameter name is required if you want your plugin to do dcop via it's own instance of DCOPClient by calling dcopClient.

Note:
name MUST be the name of the application that provides the part! This is the name used for DCOP registration. It's ok to have several plugins using the same application name.
