Launchpad plugins

On BTP the plugin is an HTML5 app in the site's content, assigned to a role in SAP Build Work Zone and loaded when the site starts, with no tile.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

SAP Build Work Zone loads shell plugins. In the advanced edition a plugin is an HTML5 app in the MTA whose manifest sets "type": "plugin" and hides its launcher, and the runtime loads and initialises it when the site starts; SAP's BTP documentation points to the standard edition's page for integrating apps and shell plugins.

The plugin itself is UI5 code. SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition loads it into a business site, and the community adds scaffolding for the plugin, such as generator-ui5-ts-flp-plugin. The standard edition's own documentation page did not load as text; its support rests on SAP's BTP documentation linking to it by that title.
