    \class HbDocumentLoaderPlugin
    \brief HbDocumentLoaderPlugin is an abstract base class for custom widget plug-ins.

    The document loader can create all the widgets defined in the Hb library. Some applications
    may want to create custom widgets through their DocML. By implementing a 
    HbDocumentLoaderPlugin, the DocML can refer to custom widget.

    The plug-in API also allows the development tools to access the widget meta data.

    \sa HbDocumentLoader

/*!
    \fn virtual QObject *HbDocumentLoaderPlugin::createObject(const QString& type, const QString &name) = 0

    Returns an object of \a type with given object \a name. Usually the implementation allocates the object.
    The other option is to return pre-allocated object.
    
    Returns 0 if the \a type is not supported.

    \param type - Class type of the requested object.

    \param name - Object name of the requested object.

/*!
    \fn virtual QList<const QMetaObject *> HbDocumentLoaderPlugin::supportedObjects() = 0

    Returns the list of meta objects supported by the plug-in.
