Interface PluginStrategy

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensionPoint

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassicPluginStrategy

public interface PluginStrategy
extends ExtensionPoint

Pluggability point for how to create PluginWrapper.

This extension point was added to allow plugins to be loaded into a different environment (such as loading it in an existing DI container like Plexus.) A plugin strategy is a singleton instance, and as such this feature is primarily meant for OEM. See PluginManager.createPluginStrategy() for how this instance is created.

<T> List<ExtensionComponent<T>>	findComponents(Class<T> type, Hudson hudson) Find components of the given type using the assigned strategy.
String	getShortName(File archive) Finds the plugin name without actually unpacking anything createPluginWrapper(java.io.File) would.
void	initializeComponents(PluginWrapper plugin) Optionally start services provided by the plugin.
void	load(PluginWrapper wrapper) Loads the plugin and starts it.

Method Detail

createPluginWrapper

PluginWrapper createPluginWrapper(File archive)
                           throws IOException

Creates a plugin wrapper, which provides a management interface for the plugin

Parameters:

archive - Either a directory that points to a pre-exploded plugin, or an jpi file, or an jpl file.

Throws:

IOException

getShortName

@Nonnull
String getShortName(File archive)
                      throws IOException

Finds the plugin name without actually unpacking anything createPluginWrapper(java.io.File) would. Needed by PluginManager.dynamicLoad(java.io.File) to decide whether such a plugin is already installed.

Returns:

the PluginWrapper.getShortName()

Throws:

IOException

load

void load(PluginWrapper wrapper)
   throws IOException

Loads the plugin and starts it.

This should be done after all the classloaders are constructed for all the plugins, so that dependencies can be properly loaded by plugins.

Throws:

IOException

initializeComponents

void initializeComponents(PluginWrapper plugin)

Optionally start services provided by the plugin. Should be called when all plugins are loaded.

Parameters:

plugin -

findComponents

<T> List<ExtensionComponent<T>> findComponents(Class<T> type,
                                               Hudson hudson)

Find components of the given type using the assigned strategy.

Parameters:

type - The component type

hudson - The Hudson scope

Returns:

Sequence of components

updateDependency

default void updateDependency(PluginWrapper depender,
                              PluginWrapper dependee)

Called when a plugin is installed, but there was already a plugin installed which optionally depended on that plugin. The class loader of the existing depending plugin should be updated to load classes from the newly installed plugin.

Parameters:

depender - plugin depending on dependee.

dependee - newly loaded plugin.
