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,
