Launchpad plugins

A component with no views that the shell loads once at startup and that works through shell services such as Extension, FrameBoundExtension, AppLifeCycle and UserInfo instead of rendering an app. This extends the SAP Fiori launchpad for all hosted apps, including SAP apps. It differs from a development sandbox such as cds-launchpad-plugin.

Overview

DOES NOT APPLY IN WEB COMPONENTS

A shell plugin is an SAPUI5 component that sap.ushell loads through its Extension service, and sap.ushell is not part of the OpenUI5 distribution. UI5 Web Components' own README states they are 'not built on top of' UI5, calling them independent custom elements rather than an application, with UI5 itself remaining 'the best choice' for building one — so there is no SAPUI5 component here for the shell to load.
