Using Asset Factory Plug-ins

The asset factory plugin framework allows administrators to tie Java plugin classes with certain asset factories. These plugins, configurable through a file named "asset-factory-plugin-config.xml", allow administrators to accomplish certain tasks as users create new assets from asset factories.
