Class CustomPlatformInstall

java.lang.Object

org.netbeans.spi.java.platform.GeneralPlatformInstall

org.netbeans.spi.java.platform.CustomPlatformInstall

public abstract class CustomPlatformInstall
extends GeneralPlatformInstall

Defines an API for registering custom Java platform installer. The installer is responsible for instantiation of JavaPlatform through the provided TemplateWizard.Iterator. If your installer selects the platform on the local disk you probably don't want to use this class, the PlatformInstall class creates an platform chooser for you. You want to use this class if the platform is not on the local disk, eg. you want to download it from the web. Consult the GeneralPlatformInstall javadoc about the CustomPlatformInstall registration.
