This is a plugin which provides various APIs to other plugin developers, allowing them to have more fine-grained control over certain aspects of Bukkit. Specifically, it filters certain events into multiple events to allow plugin developers to control the outcome of the events independently for each player or entity the event concerns. By itself, this plugin does nothing, but other plugins may require it or optionally benefit from it if you install it.
This plugin uses Gravity's Updater for automatic update checking and retrieval: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/Gravity-Updater.96681/ It will not be used on first running the plugin, and you can disable it entirely in the config file.
By the way! Services that are not used by any plugins will not listen to any events.
The configuration file is currently only used to enable or disable Gravity's Updater via the "auto-updater" option. Set it to false to entirely disable the automatic update checking and installing functionality.
Some versions of some plugins may be incompatible because they try to do the same thing as one of the services provided by this plugin. Have you found an incompatible plugin? Send LB1 a private message on BukkitDev or on the bukkit forums to let him know so he can update this list.
