+/**
+ * @brief Helper class for implementing built-in plugins
+ *
+ * This class can be inherited, so most of the abstract methods from Plugin interface get implemented.
+ * All details (description, name, title, author, ...) are defined using Q_CLASSINFO.
+ *
+ * There are macros defined to help you with defining those details. You don't need to define
+ * Q_CLASSINFO and know all required keys. You can use following macros:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>::SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_TITLE</li>
+ * <li>::SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_DESC</li>
+ * <li>::SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_UI</li>
+ * <li>::SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_VERSION</li>
+ * <li>::SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_AUTHOR</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * Most of plugin implementations will use this class as a base, because it simplifies process
+ * of plugin development. Using this class you don't have to implement any of virtual methods
+ * from Plugin interface. It's enough to define meta information, like this:
+ * @code
+ * class MyPlugin : GenericPlugin
+ * {
+ * Q_OBJECT
+ *
+ * SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN
+ * SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_TITLE("My plugin")
+ * SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_DESC("Does nothing. It's an example plugin.")
+ * SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_UI("formObjectName")
+ * SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_VERSION(10000)
+ * SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN_AUTHOR("sqlitestudio.pl")
+ * };
+ * @endcode
