	<brief_description>
		A script that is executed when exporting the project.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[EditorExportPlugin]s are automatically invoked whenever the user exports the project. Their most common use is to determine what files are being included in the exported project. For each plugin, [method _export_begin] is called at the beginning of the export process and then [method _export_file] is called for each exported file.
		To use [EditorExportPlugin], register it using the [method EditorPlugin.add_export_plugin] method first.
