ServiceType can be used arbitrary object , that
cooperate with convertor. Infrastracture for convertos is in core-settings.jar.
Question (deploy-nbm):
Can you deploy an NBM via the Update Center?
Answer:
openide.nbm and core.nbm) are reachable via the Update Center .
Question (deploy-shared):
Do you need to be installed in the shared location only, or in the user directory only,
or can your module be installed anywhere?
Answer:
openide.jar and core.jar must be in the shared location as it is part of the core of NetBeans.
core-settings.jar.jar can be anywhere.
Question (deploy-packages):
Are packages of your module made inaccessible by not declaring them
public?
Answer:
ServiceType is publicly accessible.
The settings infrastructure resides in core
and is considered private except InstanceDataObject which is in Datasystems, which
is public. Infrastracture for convertos is in core-settings.jar exposes some packages explicitly declaring them in manifest,
which means that all other packages are inaccessible.
Question (deploy-dependencies):
What do other modules need to do to declare a dependency on this one,
in addition to or instead of the normal module dependency declaration
(e.g. tokens to require)?
WARNING: Question with id="deploy-dependencies" has not been answered!java.io.File directly?
Answer:
No.
Question (resources-layer):
Does your module provide own layer? Does it create any files or
folders in it? What it is trying to communicate by that and with which
components?
Answer:
Provided layers:
org.openide.util.Lookup
or any similar technology to find any components to communicate with? Which ones?
Answer:
InstanceDataObject.createSettingsFile is looked up ServiceType.Registry to be sure,
that ServiceType is unique.
ClassLoader is looked up often to find ModuleManager.SystemClassLoader .
Environment.Provider which is ultimately
used to provide Lookup, that provides InstanceCookie.
This is a second way how can mainly InstanceDataObject call
outside implementation (first one are method calls by reflection).
Question (lookup-remove):
Do you remove entries of other modules from lookup?
Answer:
No.
System.getProperty) property?
On a similar note, is there something interesting that you
pass to java.util.logging.Logger? Or do you observe
what others log?
Answer:
Neither java system nor (System.getProperty) property. But attributes
attached to FileObject are used for configuration. This configuration is too complex
and can't be separated from entity registration and so on. So, here is
description of configuration.
Question (exec-component):
Is execution of your code influenced by any (string) property
of any of your components?
Answer:
No.
Question (exec-ant-tasks):
Do you define or register any ant tasks that other can use?
WARNING: Question with id="exec-ant-tasks" has not been answered!
Question (exec-classloader):
Does your code create its own class loader(s)?
Answer:
No.
Question (exec-reflection):
Does your code use Java Reflection to execute other code?
Answer:
Yes reflection is used heavily.
newInstance or factory method, that
is defined in setting file.
addPropertyChangeListener on
setting instances. There is also called pair method removePropertChangeListener.
getDisplayName and
getName.
XMLPropertiesConvertor is used for settings based on xml with grammar defined by
-//NetBeans org.netbeans.modules.settings.examples//DTD XML ProxySettings 1.0//EN, then methods
readProperties and writeProperties is used on instance of setting.
InstanceDataObject that comes from openide.jar, calls
method responsible for storing setting on disk. This method is expected to have
following decaration public void methodName (java.io.Writer w, Object inst). Which
method and from which module is invoked depends on configuration.
InstanceDataObject
is used Lookup to find InstanceCookie. Then method setInstance
is invoked on instance of InstanceCookie. This binds instance of setting to setting infrastructure.
Which Lookup and then also which InstanceCookie is used depends again on cofiguration.
description of configuration.
instanceof,
work with java.lang.Class, etc.)?
Answer:
No answer
Question (exec-threading):
What threading models, if any, does your module adhere to? How the
project behaves with respect to threading?
WARNING: Question with id="exec-threading" has not been answered!
Question (security-policy):
Does your functionality require modifications to the standard policy file?
WARNING: Question with id="security-policy" has not been answered!
Question (security-grant):
Does your code grant additional rights to some other code?
WARNING: Question with id="security-grant" has not been answered!java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable?
Answer:
No special implementation.
