I've written a few jquery plugins for my client. I want to write a function which would initialize each plugin which have been loaded.

Example:

<script src="/Scripts/jquery.plugin1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.plugin2.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.initializer.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

Here I've loaded plugin1 and plugin2. Plugin1 should be attached to all links with class name 'ajax' and plugin2 to all divs with class name 'test2':

$('document').ready(function(){
     $('a.ajax').plugin1();
     $('div.test2').plugin2();
}

I know that I can use jQuery().pluginName to check if a plugin exists. But I want to have a leaner way. Can all loaded plugins register a initialize function in an array or something like that which I in document.ready can iterate through and invoke?

like:

 //in plugin1.js
 myCustomPlugins['plugin1'] = function() { $('a.ajax').plugin1(); };

 // and in the initializer script:
 myCustomPlugins.each(function() { this(); };

Guess it all boiled down to three questions:

1. How do I use a jquery "global" array?
2. How do I iterate through that array to invoke registered methods
3. Are there a better approach?
