Class AddinManager

java.lang.Object
  oracle.ide.AddinManager

public final class AddinManager

extends java.lang.Object

The AddinManager class is responsible for loading extensions (Addins) to the IDE. The most common use of the AddinManager for Addin developers is to obtain an instance of an Addin.

Example:

 AddinManager am = AddinManager.getInstance();
 Addin myAddin = am.getAddin("oracle.jdeveloper.cm.dt.ConnectionAddin");
 try
 {
   ConnectionAddin ca = (ConnectionAddin) myAddin;
   ca.someMethodOnMyAddin();
 }
 catch (ClassCastException ex)
 {
   handleError(ex);
 }
 

The AddinManager uses the data files core-addins.xml and addins.xml located in the ${JDEV_HOME}/bin directory to obtain the list of addins to load. An additional data file, user-addins.xml, located in the ${JDEV_HOME}/system directory and containing user specific addins is loaded last.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static AddinManager getInstance()

The Features class is a singleton class. The static member instance holds the class single instance.

Returns:

the Features class single instance.

getProductProperties

public final java.util.Properties getProductProperties()

Load the addins.properties file. To obtain addin property information

Returns:

the properties file. null empty if file has not been loaded and parsed.

initCoreAddins

public final void initCoreAddins()

Creates and initializes the addins recorded in the file addins-core.xml.

initProductAndUserAddins

public final void initProductAndUserAddins()

Creates and initializes the addins recorded in the file addins.xml and addins-user.xml.

initProductAddins

public final void initProductAddins(java.lang.String prefix)

Creates and initializes the addins recorded in addins.xml that are signified by the specified key.

Parameters:

prefix - The string prefix to prepend to the property names that identify which addins to load; the prefix may not be null.

registerExtensionHandler

public final void registerExtensionHandler(java.lang.String xmlTag,
                                           ExtensionTagHandler handler)

Register xml extension tag handler. When the Addin Manger is processing the addins.xml or extensionman.xml file if it comes across a xml tag which it does not recognise the xml element is farmed off to the corresponding extension tag handler

Parameters:

xmlTag - xml element tag on which the handler will be called

registerAddin

public boolean registerAddin(java.lang.String clazz,
                             boolean quietStart)

Registers an Addin with the AddinManager. The addin class clazz will be loaded, and then the Addin method initialize will be invoked on the newly created addin. An Addin or other class can use this method to register addins after the IDE has already started up. The AddinManager will be responsible for the shutdown notification to the newly registered Addin when the IDE is exiting.

Parameters:

clazz - The class name of the Addin to register

quietStart - if true then a diagnostic message using the Assert class will be displayed with the class name of the Addin, as well as the startup time.
