javax.ide.extension.spi
Interface ExtensionSource

All Known Implementing Classes:: JARExtensionSource

public interface ExtensionSource

Represents an extension source. An extension source is typically a JAR file in an IDE specific location for extension jar files. However, an ExtensionSource could potentially be some other abstract representation of an extension. One example would be an as-yet unbundled extension manifest launched from the extension development runtime of an IDE.

A default implementation of this interface is provided in JARExtensionSource.
