Plugins Manager

The PluginsManager manage the creation and the configuration of the plugins.

Note that the PluginsManager will only be created if the directory for the Plugins of the application has been created (with with AbstractApplication.setPluginsConfiguration(File)).

Methods order

The PluginsManager methods are called in the following order:

• The PluginsManager instance is created during the AbstractApplication.initConfiguration(Preferences) method, if the directory for the Plugins exists
• The plugins are registered and their configuration is deserialized during the AbstractApplication.registerPlugins() method. see Plugins activation process for more information

Warning listener

By default exceptions which are encountered during the Plugins initializations are emitted though the System.err stream. However, it is possible to configure the way these exceptions are shown by using the PluginsManager.setManagerListener(PluginsManagerListener) method.
