    36 ULogger is extensible through a plug-in framework that uses ECom for plug-in
       
    37 discovery. Deriving from this class means that all the ECom-specific logic is
       
    38 already provided for the plug-in implementer, out-of-the-box, leaving the
       
    39 plug-in code to deal with the domain-specific logic that the plug-in is supposed
       
    40 to implement only.
       
    41 
       
    42 Among the plug-in types that are currently supported are output plug-ins (see
       
    43 class ULogger::MOutputPlugin in uloggeroutputplugin.h) and input plug-ins (see
       
    44 class ULogger::MInputPlugin in uloggerinputplugin.h).
       
    45 
       
    46 Plug-ins must derive from this class in order to be compatible with ULogger.
