The plugin manifest file

All Sitecore Host plugins contain a Sitecore.Plugin.manifest file. This file contains essential metadata about the plugin and it is automatically created, populated, and included in a plugin when it is compiled.
A plugin manifest can contain the following information:
-
Name

Version
-
Assembly name - only present if the plugin contains an assembly.
-
Tags - used for filtering plugins when they are loaded.
-
Dependencies - other plugins required to be loaded before for this plugin.
