Pluto - The Plugin Toolkit for .NET

Pluto is a .NET, Generics based application framework.

It provides an easy to use framework for any application to support loading code via plugins, as well as an entire suite of pre-made plugins to handle tasks such as:

• Delayed message passing and scheduling
• Command system for unlimited level undo and redo with transaction support
• Configuration and log file processing
• Multiple language scripting
• Utilities to speed up tasks relating to Reflection (Pluto.Core.Reflection)
• Double Dispatch service for flexible, extensible class hierarchies
• Virtual File System to make applications independant of the native file system, giving support for packaged files, compression, encryption,...
  

Pluto also provides tools for the development process itself.  This includes:

• CLS Compliant attribute [CompletionStatus] for tracking the completion of classes, methods, interfaces, etc.
• Graphical assembly browser to report the completion status of any assembly based off its attributes.

Pluto will be developed:

• Using the C# Language and the .NET 2.0 framework.
• Using the generics feature of .NET 2.0 whenever possible.
• Usable on the .NET 2.0 framework in Windows as well as the Mono Project.

Documentation is available.

Pluto is based on code which was developed for use with JadEd , and later the JadEngine itself.
