Qt provides plugin types such as \c imageformats, \c platforms,
and \c sqldrivers.
\section2 Dynamic plugins
If plugins are dynamic libraries, the function controls the plugin deployment.
Using this function, you may exclude specific plugin types from
being packaged into an Android APK, for example:
\badcode
qt_add_executable(MyApp ...)
...
qt_import_plugins(MyApp EXCLUDE_BY_TYPE imageformats)
\endcode
In the snippet above, all plugins that have the \c imageformats type will
be excluded when deploying \c MyApp. The resulting Android APK will not
contain any of the \c imageformats plugins.
If the command isn't used, the target automatically deploys all plugins that
belong to the Qt modules that the target is linked against.
\section2 Static plugins
If the command isn't used the target automatically links against
a sane set of default plugins, for each Qt module that the target is linked
against. For more information, see
a sane set of default static plugins, for each Qt module that the target is
linked against. For more information, see
\l{CMake target_link_libraries Documentation}{target_link_libraries}.
Each plugin comes with a C++ stub file that automatically
initializes the plugin. Consequently, any target that links against a plugin
has this C++ file added to its \c SOURCES.
\note This command imports plugins from static Qt builds only.
On shared builds, it does nothing.
initializes the static plugin. Consequently, any target that links against
