This plugin is used to control the state life cycle of a content.
To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:
<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.wcm.extensions.publication.PublicationManager</target-component>
The configuration is applied mainly in packaging/wcm/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/content-extended/authoring/configuration.xml.
