[Paraview] Auto-load plugin failed

[Jérôme]

Hi Yumin,

Thanks a lot for your interest !! However...

That's my problem: it is not loaded even in this case... Attached is a
minimal xml that exposes vtkImageMathematics to paraview filter list. I
cannot auto-load it.

Yes, my CMakeLists contains the version specification for the cxx plugins.
But thank you for the update about REQUIRED_PLUGINS, I was hoping that it
will solve my problem. So I set the PVCustomizer (cxx plugin, version "1.0"
in the CMakeLists) requiring the XML "ParaviewVTK". But I cannot load
"ParaviewVTK", so making the former depending on the latter is quite
awkward... Finally, you made me progressing and I have a more precise
question :
   - How to set the version of a plugin that is only an XML description of
VTK filters? -ie I don't have a CMakeLists for this...-

Thanks again Yumin!
