Package org.gvsig.andami.plugins

Class Extension

java.lang.Object

org.gvsig.andami.plugins.Extension

All Implemented Interfaces:

IExtension, IExtensionExecuteWithArgs, IExtensionQueryByAction

Direct Known Subclasses:

LibraryExtension

public abstract class Extension
extends Object
implements IExtension, IExtensionQueryByAction, IExtensionExecuteWithArgs

Extensions are the way in which plugins extend Andami. Extensions can add controls to user interface (GUI) and execute some code when controls are activated. Every class implementing IExtension is an extension, but directly implementing that interface is discouraged. The preferred way to create an extension is extending this absctract class.
