h4. Generation of plugin metadata and packaging

To create the packaging for a plugin a special Maven packaging would be created with an accompanying life-cycle in order to create the plugin metadata required and create an archive of the plugin that can be consumed at runtime.

h3. Creation of an isolated classloader
