I'm trying to figure out the best way to package the "built-in" or
"default" pluggable renderers into OpenJUMP using my pluggable
rendering system. I think I can do this with an Extension, but I want
to make sure that I understand the purpose of an Extension first, so I
don't use it improperly.
The JUMP Developer Guide says that: "An extension is a collection of
classes and supporting resources that provides additional
functionality to JUMP…The JUMP Workbench will search the JAR file for
subclasses of Extension. (Note: They must also be named "…Extension").
It will then call the #configure method on each Extension class if
finds."
It also contains this example:
package example;
import com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.plugin.Extension;
import com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.plugin.PlugInContext;
public class MyExtension extends Extension{
public void configure(PlugInContext context) throws Exception{
new HelloWorldPlugIn().initialize(context);
}
}
It seems to me the purpose of the Extension Class is to provide a
container that allows for the easy installation and configuration of a
set of plug-ins and cursor tools. Is this correct?
If this is the case I think I can use an Extension to configure and
install my "built-in" pluggable renderers as a group.
Thanks,
The Sunburned Surveyor
