Initialise the plugin system. This must be called before anything else.

Throws:

PluginParseException - If parsing the plugins failed.

IllegalStateException - if already initialized or already in the process of initialization.

NotificationException - If any of the Event Listeners throw an exception on the Framework startup events.

shutdown
