Global Install Handlers

Identifier:
org.eclipse.update.core.installHandlers

Description:
Extension point for registering global install handlers. Global install handlers can be referenced by features (using the <feature> <install-handler> tags) without having to include a copy of the handler code as part of the downloadable feature.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension ( install-handler+)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id    CDATA #IMPLIED

name  CDATA #IMPLIED

>

  • point - must be specified as org.eclipse.update.core.installHandlers
  • id - must be specified. Identifies the new install handler
  • name - optional displayable label for the new install handler

<!ELEMENT install-handler EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST install-handler

class CDATA #REQUIRED

>

  • class - fully qualified name of the handler implementation class for the identified install handler

Examples:
The following is an example of new global install handler registration:


   <extension
        id=
"custom"

        point=
"org.eclipse.update.core.installHandlers"

        name=
"Custom install handler"
>
     <install-handler
        class=
"com.xyz.update.CustomInstallHandler"
>
     </install-handler>
   </extension>

Supplied Implementation:
The platform supplies a simple install handler that is registered as org.eclipse.update.core.DefaultInstallHandler. If used, it will copy any non-plug-in data entries provided with the feature into the feature installation directory.
