Plugins and Interpreters are same. However, add-ons are quite different
(sorry, I made a mistake in my previous mail, I wanted to say: plugins
and interpreters are almost same). Add-ons are heavily based on the MGA
event interface, and usually not invoked by the user. So, their
architecure is different.
 
I think, you can list multiple paradigms separated by commas or spaces
in the COnfigureComponent dialog.

Hi Peter,
So for all purposes, Interpreters, Plugins and Add-Ons are same, and it
doesnt really matter when we start creating a new component, right?
Also, can we, and if so how, specify multiple paradigms (a set of three
different paradigms, say) on which a particular plugin is supposed to
work?
 
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
 
You are right about the differences (if there is any) between plugins
and add-ons. The CreateNewComponent program is just not smart enough.

Dear Peter, 
When we start building a new component using CreateNewComponent.exe, we
get a choice from three options in the ConfigureComponent.exe -
Interpreter, Plugin and AddOn. The way I understood it, the conceptual
difference between an Interpreter and a Plugin was that you could write
an Interpreter for a single paradigm, whereas a Plugin is supposed to
work with all or multiple paradigms (I am not sure, we can specify
multiple paradigms and if so, can they be comma-delimited). 

However, when I looked at the ConfigureComponent.exe, I realized that
the "option set" of Interpreter, Plugin or AddOn worked independently of
the paradigm selection. So, now I am a bit confused as what are the
differences between these three. Could you please answer these doubts at
your convenience?

Thanks & Regards,
