I'm working on an extension of AbstractPlugIn that I would like to use for most of my OpenJUMP PlugIns. At this time I only plan to add two (2) things to this class:
[1] The code from the OpenJUMP Wiki that allows a programmer to obtain an i18n String from the plug-in. (This will be done using Java's ResourceBundle class as shown in the wiki.) [2] Implement the IPlugInDependency interface to support plug-in dependencies. I'm going to make my SuperSelectToolboxPlugIn class extend this new class so I can test the functionality. (I wanted to internationalize the plug-in anyways.) Are there other useful additions that you have personally made to OpenJUMP's basic PlugIn class? Do you find yourself adding the same functionality to each of your plug-ins? I'd like any comments on this so I can design a well rounded and comprehensive extension to the AbstractPlugIn class. I'm not suggesting this new class go into the core, but I will make it available on my SurveyOS SourceForge site. The Sunburned Surveyor P.S. - I noticed that the i18n code on the OpenJUMP wiki creates an instance of the ResourceBundle class in the plug-in's intialize method. I wonder if this leads to uneccessary memory usage. Would it be better to create the ResourceBundle class in the execute method? (This might make setting an internationalized menu name a little trickier, as it won't be available if we create the ResourceBundle in the execute method instead of the intialize method.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
