Plugins implement this to extend the GUI. To create a plug-in:

1. Create an implementation of this class.
2. List the implementation in your jar's META-INF/services/uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.client.swing.ConversationBrowserPlugin.Provider file

Plugins are loaded by the ConversationBrowser's constructor. Each one must have a single-argument constructor which takes the ConversationBrowser as its only argument.
