+ This task is about the enabling and disabling of plug-ins. What is more, enabling and disabling a plug-in should be done without restarting the application (in real time).
 
 == Task requirements ==
 
  * Plug-ins should be possible to enable without restarting Sophie 2.0
- * Define and design a way to state whether a plug-in would be "hot enable" compatible.
-  * It may not be possible to enable without restart.
-  * Some of the functionalities can be possible to enable and other not - think of whether it consists of sub-elements and sub-extensions which need restart in order to work properly.
-  * Not that in the implementation there should be a way to state that the plug-in is able to "hot enable", is not able, or is partly able to do this.
+ * Define and design a way to state whether a plug-in would be "hot enable" compatible - the only reason it is now may be that another thing it depends on is missing.
  * Create classes to control the enabling and disabling of a plug-in (for the [wiki:APP_PLUGIN_MANAGER_HOT_ENABLE_R0] task).
+ * If a plug-in is not possible to start, the plug-in manager should display appropriate information. Provide this information if this situation occurs.
  * Unit tests for enabling and disabling a plug-in depending on its "hot enabling" compatibility.

 == Implementation idea ==
  * review results of the following tasks => [wiki:PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_BASE_R0], [wiki:PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_CONFIGURING_R0].
- * we can use interface to provide whether a plug-in is hot enable compatible, not or partly compatible.
- * every single plug-in can implement this interface and return corresponding results for the plug-in manager to display.
+ * we can use interface to provide whether a plug-in is hot enable compatible or not.
