Background

The new Plugin Systems clearly defines Interfaces and Data access but does not grant access to global data structures of the framework.

An example of the interface can be found in the comments below.

Before we commit to ship the new Plugin System in 7.14, we want to validate it with customers.

Assumptions to validate

Supported by Plugin System	Not supported
Clearly defined data gets passed into the plugin REST-API can be used to query more data In the case of multiple plugins, browser-functionality (local storage) can be used to communicate and safe configuration	Propagation of Backend-Changes made by the Plugin (e.g. post requests) --> there is no service to refresh views, page reload can be used Plugins are sandboxed - they have no access to information about the state of other plugins and site elements existing Camunda angularJS services and directives are disabled.

We also have to validate if the current Interface provides enough information to the user or if we have to pass more data.
