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,

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...
