Method Detail

getCompleteKey

java.lang.String getCompleteKey()

The complete key for this module, including the plugin key.

Format is plugin.key:module.key

Returns:

The complete key for this module.

See Also:

getKey(), getPluginKey()

getPluginKey

java.lang.String getPluginKey()

The plugin key for this module, derived from the complete key.

Returns:

The plugin key for this module.

See Also:

getKey(), getCompleteKey()

getKey

java.lang.String getKey()

The key for this module, unique within the plugin.

Returns:

The key for this module.

getCompleteKey(), getPluginKey()

getName

java.lang.String getName()

A simple string name for this descriptor.

Returns:

The name for this ModuleDescriptor.

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

A simple description of this descriptor.

Returns:

The description for this ModuleDescriptor.

getModuleClass

java.lang.Class<T> getModuleClass()

The class of the module this descriptor creates.

Returns:

The class of the module this descriptor creates.

See Also:

getModule()

getModule

T getModule()

The particular module object created by this plugin.

Returns:

getModuleClass()

init

void init(Plugin plugin,
          org.dom4j.Element element)
          throws PluginParseException

Initialise a module given it's parent plugin and the XML element representing the module.

Since atlassian-plugins v2.2, you can no longer load classes from the plugin in this method, because the OSGi bundle that they will live in is not built yet. Load classes in the AbstractModuleDescriptor.enabled() method instead.

Parameters:

plugin - The plugin that the module belongs to.

element - XML element representing the module.

Throws:

PluginParseException - Can be thrown if an error occurs while parsing the XML element.

isEnabledByDefault

boolean isEnabledByDefault()

Whether or not this plugin module is enabled by default.

Returns:

true if this plugin module is enabled by default.

isSystemModule

boolean isSystemModule()

Whether or not this plugin module is a "system" plugin that shouldn't be made visible/disableable to the user.

Returns:

true if this plugin module is a "system" plugin that shouldn't be made visible/disableable to the user.

destroy

void destroy(Plugin plugin)

Override this if your plugin needs to clean up when it's been removed.

Parameters:

plugin - TODO: The plugin parameter is redundant. The ModuleDescriptor must know its parent plugin in order to implement getPlugin()

getMinJavaVersion

java.lang.Float getMinJavaVersion()

satisfiesMinJavaVersion

boolean satisfiesMinJavaVersion()

If a min java version has been specified this will return true if the running jvm is >= to the specified version. If this is not set then it is treated as not having a preference.

Returns:

true if satisfied, false otherwise.

getParams

java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getParams()

getI18nNameKey

java.lang.String getI18nNameKey()

Key used to override getName() when using internationalisation.

Returns:

the i18n key. May be null.

getDescriptionKey

java.lang.String getDescriptionKey()

Key used to override getDescription() when using internationalisation.

Returns:

the i18n key. May be null.

getPlugin

Plugin getPlugin()

Returns:

The plugin this module descriptor is associated with
