Thread-topic: Can plugins be reused?
If they are commercial plugins I believe you can only use them within your
own compiled apps. ( assuming you purchased the plugins ).

Once inside a built app the plugin is in the form of a dynamic library
designed specifically to interface with the app you are running. They are
not like, for example windows DLLs where sometimes the same DLL instance in
memory gets shared by several apps the same time. A good thing too, because
this used to ( does ?? ) lead to endless issues around DLL versions and
mismaches between apps.  One of the great things about RB apps and any
plugins they use is that everything gets "locked" into a single app bundle.
This removes so many hassles.
