/**
 * The <CODE>PlugInManager</CODE> is used to search for installed plug-ins and
 * register new plug-ins. <P>
 * <H3>Plug-in Types</H3>
 * JMF defines several types of plug-ins, such as codecs, demultiplexers, and renderers.
 * Custom plug-in types can also be registered. 
 * The predefined plug-in types are: 
 * <ul>
 * <li>DEMULTIPLEXER = 1<BR></li>
 * <li>CODEC = 2<BR></li>
 * <li>EFFECT = 3<BR></li>
 * <li>RENDERER = 4<BR></li>
 * <li>MULTIPLEXER = 5<BR></li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * This <CODE>PlugInManager</CODE> is a wrapper for the actual implementation, which it
 * expects to find in <CODE>javax.media.pim.PlugInManager</CODE>. If this implementation
 * exists and is an instance of <CODE>javax.media.PlugInManager</CODE>, all calls to
 * <CODE>javax.media.PlugInManager</CODE> are redirected to <CODE>javax.media.pim.PlugInManager</CODE>.
 * If the implementation is not found, all calls to <CODE>javax.media.PlugInManager</CODE> methods 
 * will fail and return null or invalid data.
