Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Plugin	configurePlugin(ModuleDescriptorFactory moduleDescriptorFactory, Plugin plugin) Sets the configuration on the plugin argument to match the configuration specified in the plugin descriptor (typically an XML file).
String	getKey()
PluginInformation	getPluginInformation()

Method Detail

configurePlugin

Plugin configurePlugin(ModuleDescriptorFactory moduleDescriptorFactory,
                     Plugin plugin)
                       throws PluginParseException

Sets the configuration on the plugin argument to match the configuration specified in the plugin descriptor (typically an XML file).

Parameters:

moduleDescriptorFactory - a factory for instantiating the required plugin modules

plugin - the plugin whose configuration will be modified

Returns:

the original plugin with the configuration changed and the module descriptors added

Throws:

PluginParseException - if there was an error getting information about the plugin

getKey

String getKey()

Returns:

the key of the plugin specified in the descriptor

isSystemPlugin

boolean isSystemPlugin()

Deprecated. The parser will set the SystemPlugin flag within the configurePlugin() method, so there is no need to use this externally. See PLUG-415. Deprecated since 2.3.0

Returns:

true if this plugin is marked as a system plugin in the descriptor. This should only be acted on by plugin loaders which can trust their plugins implicitly (e.g. a classpath plugin loader).

getPluginsVersion

int getPluginsVersion()

Returns:

The version of the plugin system expected by this plugin. If unknown, it is assumed to be 1.

getPluginInformation

PluginInformation getPluginInformation()
