/**
 * A plugin can be used to store Syncany's repository files on any remote location. 
 * Implementations of the <code>Plugin</code> class identify a storage/transfer plugin.
 * 
 * <p>Using the 'id' attribute, plugins can be loaded by the {@link Plugins} class. 
 * Once a plugin is loaded, a corresponding {@link TransferSettings} object must be created and 
 * initialized. From the connection object, a {@link TransferManager} can then be used to
 * upload/download files to the repository.
 * 
 * <p>Per <b>naming convention</b>, plugins must end by the name <b>Plugin</b> and extend this class. 
 * Furthermore, all plugin classes must reside in a package <b>org.syncany.plugins.<i>plugin-id</i></b>,
 * where <i>plugin-id</i> is the identifier specified by {@link #getId()}.
