Well my goal is just to discover how to integrate my application as a plugin. 
It's not a requirement to connect it to some panel, that was just my guess: I 
thought it would be nice to be able to right click on a drive in the Resources 
panel and select something like "Manage" to launch my application. Otherwise 
it could also be launched from the Tool menu.
You can add a new entry in the panel where the drives are listed. The only 
thing you have to do is to check if it's a device or a bookmark (aka places in 
Dolphin).
But don't ask me where to look exactly (I'm quite new to dolphin), but a first 
start would be the DolphinContextMenu class, because it handles the right 
click context menu thing.
Another possibility is to add it to the Tools menu as you already suggested, 
but this would not be as intuitive as in the panel where the devices are 
located. The first approach has the advantage, that you know the device because 
it is selected and you don't need the user select it later in a dialog.

Dolphin has no plugin system as Alex already mentioned.

Hope this helps a bit and I'm not too wrong

So long
