[oXygen-user] Plugin needs a system property to be configured

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Florent,

Indeed the plugin.xml might be a good place where certain system 
property key=>value pairs could be set, we'll consider this an 
improvement request for a future version.

Right now setting the system properties on the constructor of your 
ro.sync.exml.plugin.Plugin should work fine.
The Plugin object is instantiated before any of the associated plugin 
extensions.

Regards,
Radu
