Extension plugins are used both in the front-end and the backend. They should be created as classes deriving from the base class  VmExtendedPlugin:

public function __construct (&$subject, $config=array()) {
parent::__construct($subject, $config);
$this->_path = JPATH_PLUGINS.DS.$this->getName();
JPlugin::loadLanguage('plg_vmextended_'.$this->getName());
}
