org.eclipse.update.core
Interface IFeatureFactory
-
All Known Implementing Classes:
-
BaseFeatureFactory
Deprecated. The org.eclipse.update component has been replaced by Equinox p2. This
provisional API was never promoted to stable API, and may be removed from a future release of the platform.
-
public interface IFeatureFactory
Feature factory interface.
A feature factory is used to construct new instances of concrete
features.
Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients should
directly instantiate or subclass the provided implementation of this
interface.
Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to
change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback
from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
(repeatedly) as the API evolves.
