This will teach me to make sure I put together a set of release notes next release ;-)

Script Editor 2 does support plugins and as a proof of concept (as it were), several features were written as plugins. As you noticed the dictionary viewer, library and script manager (which manages the scripts in the contextual menu of the script window, among other things) are all plugins. They do not appear in the Plugins preferences pane, as they are internal to SE2 and can't be turned off. Only external plugins are shown in the preferences pane. You can enable/disable external plugins. By the time we release, we should be able to publish the (very small) API for writing plugins for SE2. The API for the final release will be nothing more than a single API that notifies your bundle that it was loaded, but the internal plugins are all written with the same API. These need to be written as Cocoa bundles. Hopefully in future releases this can be enhanced to allow greater functionality and integration.

Thanks,

What I personally want to know is, what is the Plugins preference panel for?

Well, after typing that above I took a look inside the app bundle of Script
Editor and found three plugins. They're not listed in the preferences but maybe
it's just not functional yet. In any case, it looks like the library and the
dictionary viewer are plugins. There's also another one called Script Manager
but I don't know how that relates to SE. Maybe it's the script assistant?

Now I wonder, how do we write such plugins? With Cocoa no doubt, seeing how
they're built with NIBs and all. But maybe that's for another list... :)
