    • 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
