Pluginlib integration that lets BehaviorTree.CPP node plugins be registered and loaded automatically at runtime. It removes the need for a central list of plugins.

What it does

  • Exposes BT node plugins from distributed packages, each registered with a single CMake call.
  • Discovers all exposed nodes at runtime through pluginlib, so no list has to be given to the factory ahead of time.
  • Avoids a centralized plugin-exposure mechanism that would need constant updating.
  • Ships a separate test package that checks the build-system tools work as a user would use them.
