In order to have Git working with our compare framework we need to install gitPlugin.html in our browser. Among others gitPlugin.html installs a diffProvider. For Git we use a shortcut and we pre-install the plug-in on accessing Orion. Now I have another SCM client for Orion, let's call it Some SCM ;) it also provides a plug-in with diffProvider, but the plug-in has to be installed manually. When you open Some SCM Sync View, you'll see a link next to each change i.e. compare.html#someSCMDiffUri. someSCMDiffUri returns JSON representation as our compare framework expects. Now I click the link and compare view opens. Nothing happens just the console logs: No Matching DiffService for location: ...... When I install the plug-in, it works correctly. But how can a regular user know that he needs to install the plug-in. And even if he knew that, where to find it? I think I could show a list of plug-ins to install on my SyncView page. Just icons to click and it would register the selected plug-in. I guess there is API to do that already. I would just need API to check that my plug-ins are already installed. Can someone help?
