The NMVpnPluginInfo is essentially the .name file, that is, a configuration file about the plugin itself. Via NMVpnPluginInfo instance, the NMVpnEditorPlugin can be created. Usually, one would create a NMVpnPluginInfo (that is, reading the .name file) and then create a NMVpnEditorPlugin instance from there. In this case, usually the editor-plugin is owned by the plugin-info instance (although the API allows for creating the editor-plugin independently). Now, pass the NMVpnPluginInfo to the editor-plugin too. This is useful, because then the editor-plugin can look at the .name file. The .name file is not user configuration. Instead it is configuration about the plugin itself. Although the .name file is part of the plugin build artefacts, it is useful to allow the plugin to access the .name file. The reason is, that this can allow the user to easily change a configuration knob of the plugin without requiring to patch or the plugin.
