SparkPlug Description

Advanced plugin system for Cocoa applications SparkPlug is an advanced plugin system for Cocoa applications. It is designed to be an enhancement to the existing InputManager framework provided by Apple. SparkPlug allows plugin developers to load their plugins into any Cocoa application, or selectively load it in only certain applications. SparkPlug also allows the plugin's users to easily control which programs the plugin can be loaded into as well as changing settings for the plugin (via the System Preferences application).It is quite easy for plugin developers to create their own "SparkPlugins." All that is required is a few extra additions to your plugin's Info.plist file.Installing SparkPlugThere usually is no need to install SparkPlug yourself unless you are a programmer-it is installed automatically by SparkPlugins. However, if you wish to install SparkPlug yourself, just run the installer program provided in the zip file. A file called "SparkPlug.prefPane" will be installed in your /Library/PreferencePanes folder, and an InputManager will be installed in /Library/InputManagers. Your applications will be left untouched, so if you ever have problems with SparkPlug, uninstalling it is as easy as deleting the files mentioned above.
