== Types of plugins

Plugins can be implemented as *binary plugins*, *precompiled script plugins*, or *script plugins*:

Binary Plugins :: Binary plugins are compiled plugins typically written in Java or Kotlin DSL that are packaged as JAR files.
They are applied to a project using the `plugins {}` block.

# * Building all docker images (generally in CI). In this case we want to build everything at once, so they share work
# * Building a single docker image (generally during dev). In this case we just want to build the single binary alone

        it is expected to be in the proto binary format.
      config: File containing tensorflow.tf2xla.Config proto.  If the file ends
        in '.pbtxt' it is expected to be in the human-readable proto text
        format, otherwise it is expected to be in the proto binary format.
      debug_info: Debug info to include in the output.
