/**

 * This interface defines methods that will be called at different times during

 * the code generation process. These methods can be used to extend or modify

 * the generated code. Clients may implement this interface in its entirety, or

 * extend the PluginAdapter (highly recommended).

 *

 * <p>Plugins have a lifecycle. In general, the lifecycle is this:

 *

 * <ol>

 * <li>The setXXX methods are called one time</li>

 * <li>The validate method is called one time</li>

 * <li>The initialized method is called for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The clientXXX methods are called for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The providerXXX methods are called for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The modelXXX methods are called for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The sqlMapXXX methods are called for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The contextGenerateAdditionalJavaFiles(IntrospectedTable) method is

 * called for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The contextGenerateAdditionalXmlFiles(IntrospectedTable) method is called

 * for each introspected table</li>

 * <li>The contextGenerateAdditionalJavaFiles() method is called one time</li>

 * <li>The contextGenerateAdditionalXmlFiles() method is called one time</li>

 * </ol>

 *

 * <p>Plugins are related to contexts - so each context will have its own set of

 * plugins. If the same plugin is specified in multiple contexts, then each

 * context will hold a unique instance of the plugin.

 *

 * <p>Plugins are called, and initialized, in the same order they are specified in

 * the configuration.

 *

 * <p>The clientXXX, modelXXX, and sqlMapXXX methods are called by the code

 * generators. If you replace the default code generators with other

 * implementations, these methods may not be called.
