So I am at it again this time making some changes how plugins should be
developed.

I am updating all (not so many today) plugins to fit the model, so far it is
just cosmetic/refactor.

One change I am thinking of is how commands are processed, especially the argument
processing methods

   public void init_command() -- set some of the fields for documentation
   public void add_command_arguments( Options options )   -- add your arguments
   public boolean process_command_option ( Option o ) throws IllegalArgumentException
       ** if argument is invalid throw exception new IllegalArgumentException
( formatArgumentError( getClass().getName(), "message", value ) );
       ** if you are STRICT and the argument is not one of yours return false
   public boolean process_command_arguments( String[] argv ) throws
IllegalArgumentException -- process any remaining arguments
       ** if argument is invalid throw exception new IllegalArgumentException
( formatArgumentError( getClass().getName(), "message", value ) );
       ** if you are STRICT and the argument is not one of yours return false
   public void validate_command_arguments () throw IllegalArgumentException
-- validate all required arguments and settings are correct
       ** if argument is invalid throw exception new IllegalArgumentException
( formatArgumentError( getClass().getName(), "message", value ) );

I would like to simplify the 'execute_check()' method as well, but I have not
touched this yet.
thinking...
public void execute_check ()
.. and you must do a 'super.complete( message, state )' within execute check.
** thoughts?

I doced the whole thing - http://blue.sourceforge.net/wiki/developing_plugins
