If you can use the Omni Frameworks (actually OmniBase and OmniFoundation I
think) then it has pretty good methods for adding plugins to your
application : it automatically finds them (in directories specified in yout
Info.plist) and then calls a class method of one class of your app
(specified in the plugin's plist). So you can easily invoke them & track
them.
I've written an app which uses the Omni frameworks to load plugins. Feel
free to ask the source if you need it.
