Using the Plugins console, you manage your WebManager Component Bundles (WCBs), most commonly referred to as plugins in this documentation. XperienCentral is based on a modular architecture. Plugins are specific OSGi bundles with a Java API. See https://www.osgi.org/developer/architecture/ for more information. For complete information on developing plugins for XperienCentral see Plugins.

Using the console, you can install, uninstall, update, and start and stop plugins.

Plugin Overview Tab

After opening the Plugin Management Console, the Plugins Overview tab shows a list of installed plugins. These plugins are either part of the XperienCentral platform, or are extensions to it. For each plugin the following properties are listed:

Item	Description
`ID`	The ID is determined by the XperienCentral platform at startup of the plugin. The ID is not defined by the plugin itself and may differ each time the server has been started.
`Name`	The name of the plugin as defined in the `pom.xml` of the plugin.
`Version`	The version of the plugin as defined in the `pom.xml` of the plugin.
`State`	The state in which the plugin is running at this moment. The possible states are: Installed — The bundle has been successfully installed but is not running. Resolved — All Java classes that the bundle needs are available and the bundle is either ready to be started or has been (manually) stopped. When a bundle fails to start successfully, it falls back to this state. Starting — The bundle is in the process of starting up. Active — The bundle has successfully started and is running. Stopping — The bundle is being stopped. Uninstalled — The bundle has been uninstalled.
`Level`	The level determines the order in which the bundles start. The level of plugins that are part of the XperienCentral core platform all have a level lower than 25.
