So there's no stuff out there on plug-in development?
Well I just did a quick search on developerWorks and it gave me a lot of info. Among others were the below articles that I think look very interesting. Especially those two first ones look like something that would be of interest to a lot of people venturing into this area.

Re: So there's no stuff out there on plug-in development?
Still the learning curve is intimidating. What they really say: There is no easy to understand comprehensive one-stop material out there. It is a big puzzle you have still to assemble. Plug-ins and features and runtime environment and UI etc.
