Package org.gvsig.andami.plugins

Interface ExclusiveUIExtension

All Superinterfaces:

IExtension

public interface ExclusiveUIExtension
extends IExtension

Extensions implementing this interface are able to take control over the user interface, by deciding which of the other extensions will be enabled/disabled or visible/hidden. Besides implementing this interface, the extension needs to be set as ExclusiveUIExtension during Andami startup process. This is performed by providing a command line argument to Andami:
ExclusiveUIExtension=ExtensionName
