Interface for dynamically loading / unloading plugins #14

Original report (archived issue) by Louise Poubel (Bitbucket: chapulina, GitHub: chapulina).


It would be nice to have an interface (maybe through ignition transport?) which can be used to tell the ECS to load a new plugin.

This could be used by any external process, such as a command line tool for example, to load a system on its behalf, and unload when it is done.

I imagine this interface would be a wrapper around a C++ interface which can be used to programatically load plugins.
