+# Optional plugins
+Optional plugins could be provided by source codes or in `optional-plugins` folder under agent.
+
+For using these plugins, you need to compile source codes by yourself, or copy the certain plugins to `/plugins`.
+
+## Spring bean plugin
+This plugin allows to trace all methods of beans in Spring context, which are annotated with
+`@Bean`, `@Service`, `@Component` and `@Repository`.
+
+- Why does this plugin optional?
+Tracing all methods in Spring context all creates a lot of spans, which also spend more CPU, memory and network.
+Of course you want to have spans as many as possible, but please make sure your system payload can support these.
+
+## Oracle and Resin plugins
+These plugins can't be provided in Apache release because of Oracle and Resin Licenses.
+If you want to know details, please read [Apache license legal document](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html)
+
+- How should we build these optional plugins in local?
+
+1. Resin 3: Download Resin 3.0.9 and place the jar at `/ci-dependencies/resin-3.0.9.jar`.
+1. Resin 4: Download Resin 4.0.41 and place the jar at `/ci-dependencies/resin-4.0.41.jar`.
+1. Oracle: Download Oracle OJDBC-14 Driver 10.2.0.4.0 and place the jar at `/ci-dependencies/ojdbc14-10.2.0.4.0.jar`.
