Just to digress a bit, anyone used Eclipse plugin framework before?

I was reading about this game called codeinvader.
[www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/codeinvaders]

To start using, i need to dump 2 files into eclipse plugin folder. And
magic, I can use eclipse to start editing for codeinvaders...


why do we need POVSphere that is inherited from POVObject?


The idea is that developers can write plugin, and to interface it
Library{
"name of plugin", "function name", para1, para2, ...
return: ret1, ret2,...
}


in terms of loading data like 3ds or meshes, the above plugin library will
allow programmers to code for it.

I find using import(3ds file) weird, it looks like functional programming,
yet OO at the same time.
