Plugins may utilize the tap interface to provide special tools
or analysis options, not otherwise available in Wireshark, or
perhaps not allowed to be distributed freely. Up until now, those
tools either had to start automatically, or could not be started
at all, or had to be started separately.
It should be possible, that those tools may be started using a
menu entry directly from Wireshark. This interface tries to achieve
exactly that.
This interface uses a clean interface, which can be implemented in
any plugin or dissector. Documentation for this has been added to
README.plugins.
Separators are only supported for now in the Qt interface, but
URLs can now be added as a simple item, and the UI will use the
same methods used for other URL calls to open them.
