        {
                static PFactoryInfo factoryInfo =
                {
                        "My Company Name",
                        "http://www.mywebpage.com",

                        PFactoryInfo::kNoFlags
                };
 
                gPluginFactory = new CPluginFactory (factoryInfo);
 
                static PClassInfo componentClass =
