Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Repository: kcoreaddons


Description
-------

This class simplifies reading the metadata from a qt plugin by providing
type safe accessor functions for the standard plugininfo keys that are
also used by the .desktop file based KPluginInfo

KPluginMetaData: Read the translated value for name and description

The "Name" and "Comment" fields of the metadata should be translated
since they will be shown to the user (e.g. in the plugin selection
dialog)

Add a unit test for KPluginMetaData


Add KPluginMetaData::findPlugins()


Add a unit test for KPluginMetaData::findPlugins()


Introduce KPluginLoader::instantiatePlugins() and add a unit test

This method allows easily instantiating all plugins in a given directory

KPluginMetaData::pluginName() was changed to return the base name of the
plugin file if no plugin name was set in the JSON metadata
