#' Generate RKWard plugin components
#'
#' @param about Either a character string with the name of this plugin component, or an object of class \code{XiMpLe.node}
#'    with further descriptive information on it, like its authors and dependencies (see \code{link[XiMpLe:rk.XML.about]{rk.XML.about}}
#'    for details). This is only useful for information that differs from the \code{<about>} section of the \code{.pluginmap} file.
#' @param xml A named list of options to be forwarded to \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.XML.plugin]{rk.XML.plugin}}, to generate the GUI XML file.
#'    Not all options are supported because some don't make sense in this context. Valid options are:
#'    \code{"dialog"}, \code{"wizard"}, \code{"logic"} and \code{"snippets"}.
#'    If not set, their default values are used. See \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.XML.plugin]{rk.XML.plugin}} for details.
#' @param js A named list of options to be forwarded to \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.JS.doc]{rk.JS.doc}}, to generate the JavaScript file.
#'    Not all options are supported because some don't make sense in this context. Valid options are:
#'    \code{"require"}, \code{"results.header"}, \code{"header.add"}, \code{"variables"}, \code{"globals"}, \code{"preprocess"},
#'    \code{"calculate"}, \code{"printout"}, \code{"doPrintout"}, \code{"preview"} and \code{"load.silencer"}.
#'    If not set, their default values are used. See \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.JS.doc]{rk.JS.doc}} for details.
#' @param rkh A named list of options to be forwarded to \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.rkh.doc]{rk.rkh.doc}}, to generate the help file.
#'    Not all options are supported because some don't make sense in this context. Valid options are:
#'    \code{"summary"}, \code{"usage"}, \code{"sections"}, \code{"settings"}, \code{"related"} and \code{"technical"}.
#'    If not set, their default values are used. See \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.rkh.doc]{rk.rkh.doc}} for details.
#' @param provides Character vector with possible entries of \code{"logic"}, \code{"dialog"} or \code{"wizard"}, defining what
#'    sections the GUI XML file should provide even if \code{dialog}, \code{wizard} and \code{logic} are \code{NULL}.
#'    These sections must be edited manually and some parts are therefore commented out.
#' @param scan A character vector to trigger various automatic scans of the generated GUI XML file. Valid enties are:
#'    \describe{
#'      \item{\code{"var"}}{Calls \code{\link{rk.JS.scan}} to define all needed variables in the \code{calculate()} function
#'        of the JavaScript file. These variables will be added to variables defined by the \code{js} option, if any (see below).}
#'      \item{\code{"saveobj"}}{Calls \code{\link{rk.JS.saveobj}} to generate code to save R results in the \code{printout()}
#'        function of the JavaScript file. This code will be added to the code defined by the \code{js} option, if any (see below).}
#'      \item{\code{"settings"}}{Calls \code{\link{rk.rkh.scan}} to generate \code{<setting>} sections for each relevant GUI element in
#'        the \code{<settings>} section of the help file. This option will be overruled if you provide that section manually
#'        by the \code{rkh} option (see below).}
#'      \item{\code{"preview"}}{Calls \code{\link{rk.JS.scan}} to search for \code{<preview>} nodes in the XML code.
#'        An according \code{preview()} function will be added to the JS code if needed. Will be overwritten by a
#'        preview function that was defined by the \code{js} option.}
#'    }
#' @param unused.vars Logical, if \code{TRUE} all variables found by \code{scan} are being defined, even if they are not used in the
#'    JavaScript code. By default only matching variables will be kept. This option should only be used for debugging.
#' @param dependencies An object of class \code{XiMpLe.node} to be pasted as the \code{<dependencies>} section,
#'    See \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.XML.dependencies]{rk.XML.dependencies}} for details. Skipped if \code{NULL}.
#'    This is only useful for information that differs from the \code{<dependencies>} section of the \code{.pluginmap} file.
#' @param hints Logical, if \code{TRUE} and you leave optional entries empty (like \code{rkh=list()}), dummy sections will be added.
#' @param guess.getter Logical, if \code{TRUE} try to get a good default getter function for JavaScript
#'    variable values (if \code{scan} is active). This will use some functions which were added with RKWard 0.6.1, and therefore
#'    raise the dependencies for your plugin/component accordingly. Nonetheless, it's recommended.
#' @param hierarchy A character vector with instructions where to place this component in the menu hierarchy, one list or string.
#'    Valid single values are \code{"file"}, \code{"edit"}, \code{"view"}, \code{"workspace"}, \code{"run"}, \code{"data"},
#'    \code{"analysis"}, \code{"plots"}, \code{"distributions"}, \code{"windows"}, \code{"settings"} and \code{"help"},
#'    anything else will place it in a "test" menu. If \code{hierarchy} is a list, each entry represents the label of a menu level.
#' @param include Character string or vector, relative path(s) to other file(s), which will then be included in the head of the GUI XML document.
#' @param create A character vector with one or more of these possible entries:
#'    \describe{
#'      \item{\code{"xml"}}{Create the plugin \code{.xml} XML file skeleton.}
#'      \item{\code{"js"}}{Create the plugin \code{.js} JavaScript file skeleton.}
#'      \item{\code{"rkh"}}{Create the plugin \code{.rkh} help file skeleton.}
#'    }
#' @param gen.info Logical, if \code{TRUE} comment notes will be written into the genrated documents,
#'    that they were generated by \code{rkwarddev} and changes should be done to the script.
#'    You can also provide a character string naming the very rkwarddev script file that generates this component,
#'    which will then also be added to the comment.
#' @param indent.by A character string defining the indentation string to use.
#' @return An object of class \code{rk.plug.comp}.
#' @seealso \href{help:rkwardplugins}{Introduction to Writing Plugins for RKWard}
