    // HL plugin infrastructure discovers plugins on startup by trying to load all .dll and .exe files and looking for
    // classes deriving from PluginBase. The meta-information for the plugin class is specified in the attributes
    // above, and used by plugin infrastructure primarily for plugin dependency resolution.

    // Steps:
    // (1) Check out HL source code (e.g. the trunk version)
    // (2) Build external libraries HeuristicLab.ExtLibs.sln using the Build.cmd (in the path of the HL source code)
    // (3) Build HeuristicLab 3.3.sln using the Build.cmd
    // (4) Build this project. The output path for binaries is set to "".
    //     this assumes you have the following folder structure
    //    <ROOT>
    //    |..hl
    //       |..branches
    //       |  |..Templates
    //       |     |..EmptyPlugin
    //       |..trunk
    //          |.. bin

    //  (5) Check that the output file has been added to the HL binaries folder (hl/trunk/bin/EmptyPlugin.dll)
    //  (6) Start hl/trunk/bin/HeuristicLab.exe and open the "Plugin Manager".
    //      Make sure your EmptyPlugin appears in the list of loaded plugins
