Description
Hi there,
First off I would like to thank for all these very detailed examples for powermill plugins. I have been digging for some time thru them in search for some way to automatically add our plugin commands to the ribbon on startup.
Currently these have to be defined manually after plugin setup, using the "Customise ribbon" dialog, ending up creating New Tabs, New Groups and new commands.
Looking for details on how to create this stuff automatically on plugin startup / load, to end up with something similar like this (manually configured one):

Is there some way to automatically do this? It seems like I can only find solutions on how to add custom panes, which is something different I guess.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Alex

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing PowerMill plugin examples and the plugin startup or load entry point. The issue does not name a file or test; done would be a documented or example-based way to create ribbon tabs, groups, and commands automatically rather than configuring them manually.
