Annotation Interface PluginDependency

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(TYPE) @Documented @Repeatable(PluginDependencies.class) public @interface PluginDependency
Annotation that declares a dependency on another plugin.

Use this annotation to specify that your plugin requires another plugin to be loaded and available. The dependent plugin will be loaded before your plugin, ensuring that its classes and resources are available.

This annotation is repeatable, allowing you to declare multiple dependencies: 


 @PluginDependency(CoreUtilsPlugin.class)
 @PluginDependency(OverlayPlugin.class)
 @PluginDescriptor(name = "My Plugin")
 public class MyPlugin extends Plugin {
     // Can now use classes from CoreUtilsPlugin and OverlayPlugin
 }
