TO create a plugin

*    Create a custom clientlib and extend the CQ.form.rte.plugins.Plugin object
*    override in the implementing plugin following methods as per your need:
getFeatures() returns an array of all the features that the plugin makes available.
initializeUI() adds the new button to the RTE toolbar.
notifyPluginConfig() displays title and text when the button is hovered.
execute() is called when the button is clicked and performs the plugin action: it displays a window that is used to define the text to be included.
*    Registers is your plugin using CQ.form.rte.plugins.PluginRegistry.register
*    Then use your custom plugin in all your rte.
