Description

@PaulStoffregen

Earlier versions of Arduino IDE allowed third party tools to be added to the Tools menu.

For example, Teensy uses this feature to provide a tool that manages keys used for code security.

IDE 2.0 has similar tools in its Tools menu. The same "Wifi101 / WifiNINA Firmware Updater" tool is present.

Hopefully an API can be provided for 3rd party tools to be added. Obviously it can't be Java. Existing 3rd party tools will need to be rewritten. That's ok. All that's needed is a mechanism and API to do so.
