Class PluginDescriptor


public class PluginDescriptor
extends Object

The PluginDescriptor provide access to all meta information of a nutch-plugin, as well to the internationalizable resources and the plugin own classloader. There are meta information about Plugin, ExtensionPoint and Extension. To provide access to the meta data of a plugin via a descriptor allow a lazy loading mechanism.

Constructor

  - Parameters:
  - <code>pId</code> - 
  - <code>pVersion</code> - 
  - <code>pName</code> - 
  - <code>pProviderName</code> - 
  - <code>pPluginclazz</code> - 
  - <code>pPath</code> -        

Method Detail

-  

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of the plugin.

  - Returns:
  - String       
-  

getPluginClass

public String getPluginClass()

Returns the fully qualified name of the class which implements the abstarct Plugin class.

  - Returns:
  - the name of this plug-in&#39;s runtime class or <code>null</code>.       
-  

getPluginId

public String getPluginId()

Returns the unique identifier of the plug-in or null.

  - Returns:
  - String       
-  

getExtensions

public Extension[] getExtensions()

Returns an array of extensions.

  - Returns:
  - Exception[]       
-  

addExtension

public void addExtension(Extension pExtension)

Adds a extension.

  - Parameters:
  - <code>pExtension</code> -        
-  

addExtensionPoint

public void addExtensionPoint(ExtensionPoint extensionPoint)

Adds a extension point.

  - Parameters:
  - <code>extensionPoint</code> -        
-  

getExtenstionPoints

public ExtensionPoint[] getExtenstionPoints()

Returns a array of extension points.

  - Returns:
  - ExtensionPoint[]       
-  

getDependencies

public String[] getDependencies()

Returns a array of plugin ids.

  - Returns:
  - String[]       
-  

addDependency

public void addDependency(String pId)

Adds a dependency

  - Parameters:
  - <code>pId</code> - id of the dependent plugin       
-  

addExportedLibRelative

public void addExportedLibRelative(String pLibPath)
                            throws MalformedURLException

Adds a exported library with a relative path to the plugin directory. We automatically escape characters that are illegal in URLs. It is recommended that code converts an abstract pathname into a URL by first converting it into a URI, via the toURI method, and then converting the URI into a URL via the URI.toURL method.

  - Parameters:
  - <code>pLibPath</code> -  
  - Throws: 
  - <code>MalformedURLException</code>       
-  

getPluginPath

public String getPluginPath()

Returns the directory path of the plugin.

  - Returns:
  - String       
-  

getExportedLibUrls

public URL[] getExportedLibUrls()

Returns a array exported librareis as URLs

  - Returns:
  - URL[]       
-  

addNotExportedLibRelative

public void addNotExportedLibRelative(String pLibPath)
                               throws MalformedURLException

Adds a exported library with a relative path to the plugin directory. We automatically escape characters that are illegal in URLs. It is recommended that code converts an abstract pathname into a URL by first converting it into a URI, via the toURI method, and then converting the URI into a URL via the URI.toURL method.

  - Parameters:
  - <code>pLibPath</code> -  
  - Throws: 
  - <code>MalformedURLException</code>       
-  

getNotExportedLibUrls

public URL[] getNotExportedLibUrls()

Returns a array of libraries as URLs that are not exported by the plugin.

  - Returns:
  - URL[]       
-  

getClassLoader

public PluginClassLoader getClassLoader()

Returns a cached classloader for a plugin. Until classloader creation all needed libraries are collected. A classloader use as first the plugins own libraries and add then all exported libraries of dependend plugins.

  - Returns:
  - PluginClassLoader the classloader for the plugin       
-  

getResourceString

public String getResourceString(String pKey,
                       Locale pLocale)
                         throws IOException

Returns a I18N'd resource string. The resource bundles could be stored in root directory of a plugin in the well know i18n file name conventions.

  - Parameters:
  - <code>pKey</code> - 
  - <code>pLocale</code> -  
  - Returns:
  - String 
  - Throws: 
  - <code>IOException</code>       
-  

getProviderName

public String getProviderName()
-
