There is a try in the gnome-office module in CVS, which defines a simple plugin class with the common methods (load, unload, get_list_of_interfaces), and then, that plugin implements a list of interfaces (PluginInterface interface). There is a set of minimum defined interfaces (document loader, with open() method, for instance), etc
Applications can then just define their own interfaces for specific needs, but if all GNOME applications used a common plugin system, I'm sure there would be enough common plugins to share between different, unrelated applications. If we could have something like this in a widely used library, like GLib, it would help a lot. -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
