How to write a plugin:

Example:

public class MyPlugin extends ProductIdentificationPlugin {

    public MyPlugin(ProductIdentificationPlugin successor) {
        super(successor); // <--- Just do it.
    }

    public String identify(String barcode) {
        //Implement plugin and return the item description here
        //You can also call handoff and pass the barcode to the next plugin.
        return handoff(barcode);
    }

}

You also have to add it to the plugins.json file.

{
 "plugins" : [
    {
      "name" : "Google Plugin",
      "className" : "model.productidentifier.ProductIdentifierGoogle",
      "description" : "Product UPC Identifier plugin that works with google's api"
    },
    {
      "name" : "My Awesome Plugin",
      "className" : "third.party.package.MyPlugin",
      "description" : "this plugin is awesome!"
    }
  ]
}
