PackageContents.xml Format Reference
The PackageContents.xml file contains information about the application package, including information about
the developer that authored it.
The information contained in the file can be used to specify which AutoCAD-based

and how the application should be loaded, such as load on startup or when a command
is invoked.
The following elements are used to define and describe the plug-in:
- ApplicationPackage
- CompanyDetails
- Components
PackageContents.xml for Download versus Local Deployment
