Device Importer Registering
Identifier:
org.eclipse.mtj.core.deviceimporter
Since:
1.0
Description:
The device importer extension point provides a means for registering new types of device importers.
Devices are fully-formed at import time by the appropriate instance of IDeviceImporter. These device instances are then stored and loaded automatically by the system as necessary. Implementors of this extension point must provide instances of the
org.eclipse.mtj.core.sdk.device.IDeviceImporter
interface.
Configuration Markup:
<!ELEMENT extension (
importer+)>
<!ATTLIST extension
point CDATA #REQUIRED
id CDATA #IMPLIED
name CDATA #IMPLIED
>
-
point - a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point
-
id - an optional identifier of the extension instance
-
name - an optional name of the extension instance
<!ELEMENT importer EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST importer
id CDATA #REQUIRED
priority CDATA #REQUIRED
name CDATA #IMPLIED
class CDATA #REQUIRED
>
-
id - a required fully-qualified identifier for this particular device importer extension
-
priority - the priority order for this importer. The priority may range from 1 to 99. The importers will be consulted in priority order starting with the lower numbered priority and working toward the highest numbered priority. The first device importer that requires a non-null result for a particular folder will "win" and no further importer instances will be consulted.
-
name - an optional displayable name for this particular device importer extension
-
class - the required implementation class for the
org.eclipse.mtj.core.sdk.device.IDeviceImporter interface
Examples:
Example of a declaration of a
deviceimporter named "ME4SE Device Importer":
<extension
point=
"org.eclipse.mtj.core.deviceimporter"
>
<importer
class=
"org.eclipse.mtj.examples.toolkits.me4se.ME4SEDeviceImporter"
id=
"org.eclipse.mtj.toolkit.me4se.importer"
name=
"ME4SE Device Importer"
priority=
"50"
/>
</extension>
Supplied Implementation:
MTJ provides 3 implementations for the
deviceimporter E.P., available in the following plug-ins:
-
org.eclipse.mtj.toolkit.uei
responsible for importing all UEI compatible SDK's
-
org.eclipse.mtj.toolkit.mpowerplayer
responsible for importing the MPowerPlayer SDK
-
org.eclipse.mtj.toolkit.microemu
responsible for importing the MicroEmu SDK
