HelpImporter

public HelpImporter()

Method Details

getGuiContexts

public Set<GuiContext> getGuiContexts()

Description copied from interface: InteractivePlugin

Get a set containing all items that the plugin handles. Ie. if the plugin imports reporters, return a set containing Item.REPORTER. This information is used by client applications to put the plugin in the proper place in the user interface.

Specified by:

getGuiContexts in interface InteractivePlugin

Returns:

A Set containing Item:s, or null if the plugin is not concerned about items

isInContext

public String isInContext(GuiContext context,
 Object item)

Description copied from interface: InteractivePlugin

Check if the plugin can be used on the specified object. The item is either a BasicItem or BasicData object, or null if called from a list context. A client application should only call this method for contexts matching one of the contexts in the set returned by the InteractivePlugin.getGuiContexts() method. For GuiContext.Type.ITEM contexts an item of the correct type should be passed as a parameter.

The plug-in can response with a null value indicating success, a warning-level message or throw an exception to indicate an error-level message. Client application should normally only show error-level messages to users, unless the user has requested to see warning messages.

NOTE! Before BASE 2.4 all messages were treated as error-level messages.

Specified by:

isInContext in interface InteractivePlugin

Parameters:

context - The current context of the client application, it is one of the values found in set returned by InteractivePlugin.getGuiContexts()

item - The currently active item, it's type should match the GuiContext.getItem() type, or null if the context is a list context

Returns:

Null if the plugin can use that item, or a warning-level message explaining why the plugin can't be used

getRequestInformation

public RequestInformation getRequestInformation(GuiContext context,
 String command)
                                         throws BaseException

Description copied from interface: InteractivePlugin

This method will return the RequestInformation for a given command, i.e. the list of parameters and some nice help text.

Specified by:

getRequestInformation in interface InteractivePlugin

Parameters:

context - The current context of the client application, it is one of the values found in set returned by InteractivePlugin.getGuiContexts()

command - The command

Returns:

The RequestInformation for the command

Throws:

BaseException - if there is an error

configure

public void configure(GuiContext context,
 Request request,
 Response response)

Description copied from interface: InteractivePlugin

Configure the plugin. Hopefully the client is supplying values for the parameters specified by InteractivePlugin.getRequestInformation(GuiContext, String).

Specified by:

configure in interface InteractivePlugin

Parameters:

context - The current context of the client application, it is one of the values found in set returned by InteractivePlugin.getGuiContexts()

request - Request object with the command and parameters

response - Response object in for the plugin to response through

getMainType

public Plugin.MainType getMainType()

Description copied from interface: Plugin

Get the type of the plugin. This method must always return the same value.

Specified by:

getMainType in interface Plugin

Returns:

One of the defined types

supportsConfigurations

public boolean supportsConfigurations()

Description copied from class: AbstractPlugin

Returns TRUE, since that is how the plugins used to work before this method was introduced.

Specified by:

supportsConfigurations in interface Plugin

Overrides:

supportsConfigurations in class AbstractPlugin

Returns:

TRUE or FALSE

requiresConfiguration

public boolean requiresConfiguration()

Description copied from class: AbstractPlugin

Returns FALSE, since that is how the plugins used to work before this method was introduced.

Specified by:

requiresConfiguration in interface Plugin

Overrides:

requiresConfiguration in class AbstractPlugin

Returns:

TRUE or FALSE

getPermissions

public Collection<Permissions> getPermissions()

Request write access to Client:s and read access to File:s.

Specified by:

getPermissions in interface Plugin

Overrides:

getPermissions in class AbstractPlugin

Returns:

A collection of permissions or null to not use permissions

run

public void run(Request request,
 Response response,
 ProgressReporter progress)

Description copied from interface: Plugin

Run the plugin. If a progress reporter object is passed it is recommended that the plugin makes use of it.

Specified by:

run in interface Plugin

Parameters:

request - Request object with the command and parameters

response - Response object in for the plugin to response through

progress - A ProgressReporter where the plugin can report its progess, can be null

getSignalHandler

public SignalHandler getSignalHandler()

Description copied from interface: SignalTarget

Get the signal handler that is handling signals on behalf of this object. Multiple invokations of this method may receive the same or different objects. Null may be returned if, for some reason, the current object instance doesn't want to receive signals. Returning null is the same as not implementing this interface.

Specified by:

getSignalHandler in interface SignalTarget

Returns:

A SignalHandler object, or null if the current instance doesn't support signals

isImportable

public boolean isImportable(InputStream in)
                     throws BaseException

Description copied from interface: AutoDetectingImporter

Check if the given InputStream can be imported by this plugin.

Specified by:

isImportable in interface AutoDetectingImporter

Parameters:

in - The input stream to check

Returns:

TRUE if the stream can be imported, FALSE otherwise

Throws:

BaseException - If something goes wrong

doImport in interface AutoDetectingImporter

Parameters:

in - The input stream to read from

progress - Progress reporter used by the caller to keep track of the progress. Null is allowed

Throws:

BaseException - If something goes wrong

getConfiguredJobParameters
