PluginManagerProvider

Overview

Replaces the built-in plugin management entry in the designer, typically used in OEM scenarios to customize the plugin management interface or behavior.

Interface Definition

/**
 * Replaces the plugin management entry.
 * @version 10.0
 */
public interface PluginManagerProvider extends Selectable {

    String MARK_STRING = "PluginManagerProvider";

    int CURRENT_LEVEL = 1;

    /**
     * Returns the replacement plugin management Action.
     */
    UpdateAction pluginManagerAction();
}

Usage

Register the implementation class in the plugin's plugin.xml via the extra-designer tag:

<extra-designer>
    <PluginManagerProvider class="com.fr.plugin.xxx.YourClassName"/>
</extra-designer>

Example Code

public class MyPluginManager extends AbstractPluginManagerProvider {

    @Override
    public UpdateAction pluginManagerAction() {
        return new PluginManagerActionAdapter();
    }

    @Override
    public Selector selector() {
        return new Selector() {
            @Override
            public boolean accept(ObjectHolder holder) {
                return true;
            }
        };
    }

    private static class PluginManagerActionAdapter extends PluginManagerAction {

        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            // Invoke the custom plugin management dialog
            OSBasedAction osBasedAction = OSSupportCenter.getAction(PMDialogAction.class);
            osBasedAction.execute();
        }
    }
}

Notes

• It is recommended to extend AbstractPluginManagerProvider rather than implement the interface directly, to reduce boilerplate code.
• The selector() method controls whether this implementation is active; returning true causes it to replace the default plugin management entry.
• When multiple implementations are registered simultaneously, the platform uses the Selectable mechanism to select the first implementation whose accept method returns true.
