     325          The page has, for each plugin, a row that is devided into four columns with
     326          information or settings. These are explained more in details below. In front of
     327          each row is an icon that displays summarized information about the plugin when
     328          the mouse pointer is held over it. Most of this information is from the plugin's
     329          <classname>About</classname>
     330          property but some, like 'Works with', 'Class' and 'Jar' is from the installation
     331          file included in the jar-file. A plugin can also be distributed with one or many
     332          configurations that can be selected for import together with plugin
     333          registration. The configurations are by default hidden but can easily be viewed by
     334          expanding the configuration tree for a plugin.

     354                  A select list for each plugin that can be registered. There are
     355                  at least two option for each plugin in this drop-down list. The
     356                  default option
     357                  <emphasis>no</emphasis>
     358                  will not register the plugin to BASE while
     359                  <emphasis>plugin</emphasis>
     360                  will register the plugin when proceeding. Those plugins that
     361                  also have configurations available in the jar will also have
     362                  <emphasis>with configs</emphasis>
     363                  as an option. This option will also set all, in the jar-file,
     364                  available configurations for the specific plugin to be imported.
     365                </para>
     366                <para>
     367                  Each listed configuration can individually be defined if it
     368                  should be imported or not. This is done by selecting
     369                  <emphasis>yes</emphasis>
     370                  -to import or
     371                  <emphasis>no</emphasis>

     376                    Plugins that already are registered in BASE will not be enabled in the list,
     377                    unless the plugin in the list comes from a jar-file in a different path then the
     378                    one registered in BASE. In this case the drop-down lists is enabled for
     379                    selection but marked with a exclamation mark and the plugin will be
     380                    re-registered with the new jar-path if any of the two install options are
     381                    selected.

     386                    If a configuration in the list has an identical name as a configuration in BASE
     387                    and the configurations are for the same plugin, there will be a warning in the
     388                    list beside the install-select box. The already existing configuration will not
     389                    be overwritten if the new plugin is set to be imported, but there will be two
     390                    configurations with the same name and for the same plugin.
