This documentation distinguishes two categories of plugins:
Core Plugins:: This category identifies plugins that are part of Elasticsearch
project. Delivered at the same time as Elasticsearch, their version number always
matches the version number of Elasticsearch itself. These plugins are maintained
by the Elastic team with the appreciated help of amazing community members (for
open source plugins). Issues and bug reports can be reported on the
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch[Github project page].
Community contributed:: This category identifies plugins that are external to
the Elasticsearch project. They are provided by individual developers or private
companies and have their own licenses as well as their own versioning system.
Issues and bug reports can usually be reported on the community plugin's web site.
For advice on writing your own plugin, see <<plugin-authors>>.
IMPORTANT: Site plugins -- plugins containing HTML, CSS and Javascript -- are
no longer supported.
