public class DefaultPluginService
extends AbstractService
implements PluginService

Default service for keeping track of available plugins.

Available plugins are discovered using indexes generated by using scijava-common as annotation processor. Loading of the actual plugin classes can be deferred until a particular plugin is actually needed.

Plugins are added or removed via the plugin service are reported via the event service. (No events are published for plugins directly added to or removed from the PluginIndex.)

Description copied from interface: PluginService

Gets the list of plugins of the given class.

Most classes will have only a single match, but some special classes (such as ImageJ's LegacyCommand) may match many entries.

Note that this method will result in PluginInfos with matching class names and types to load their plugin Classes so that they can be compared with the given one.

Specified by:

getPluginsOfClass in interface PluginService

Type Parameters:

PT - The type of plugins to look up; e.g., Service.class.

createInstancesOfType

public <PT extends SciJavaPlugin> List<PT> createInstancesOfType(Class<PT> type)

Description copied from interface: PluginService

Creates one instance each of the available plugins of the given type.

Note that in the case of commands, this method does not do any preprocessing on the command instances, so parameters will not be auto-populated, initializers will not be executed, etc.

Specified by:

createInstancesOfType in interface PluginService

Type Parameters:

PT - The type of plugins to instantiate; e.g., Service.class.

createInstances

public <PT extends SciJavaPlugin> List<PT> createInstances(List<PluginInfo<PT>> infos)

Description copied from interface: PluginService

Creates an instance of each of the plugins on the given list.

If the plugin implements the Contextual interface, the appropriate context is injected. Similarly, if the plugin implements the Prioritized interface, the appropriate priority is injected.

Note that in the case of commands, this method does not do any preprocessing on the command instances, so parameters will not be auto-populated, initializers will not be executed, etc.

Specified by:

createInstances in interface PluginService

Type Parameters:

PT - The type of plugins to instantiate; e.g., Service.class.

createInstance

public <PT extends SciJavaPlugin> PT createInstance(PluginInfo<PT> info)

Description copied from interface: PluginService

Creates an instance of the given plugin.

If the plugin implements the Contextual interface, the appropriate context is injected. Similarly, if the plugin implements the Prioritized interface, the appropriate priority is injected.

Note that in the case of commands, this method does not do any preprocessing on the command instances, so parameters will not be auto-populated, initializers will not be executed, etc.

Specified by:

createInstance in interface PluginService

Type Parameters:

PT - The type of plugin to instantiate; e.g., Service.class.

initialize

public void initialize()

Description copied from interface: Service

Performs any needed initialization when the service is first loaded.

NB: This method is not intended to be called directly. It is called by the service framework itself (specifically by the ServiceHelper) when initializing the service. It should not be called a second time.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Service

Overrides:

initialize in class AbstractService

findPluginsOfClass

public static <T extends PluginInfo<?>> void findPluginsOfClass(String className,
                                                                List<? extends PluginInfo<?>> srcList,
                                                                List<T> destList)

Transfers plugins of the given class from the source list to the destination list. Note that because this method compares class name strings, it does not need to actually load the class in question.

Parameters:

className - The class name of the desired plugins.

srcList - The list to scan for matching plugins.

destList - The list to which matching plugins are added.

getPluginType

public static <PT extends SciJavaPlugin,P extends PT> Class<PT> getPluginType(Class<P> pluginClass)

Gets the plugin type of the given plugin class, as declared by its @Plugin annotation (i.e., Plugin.type()).

Parameters:

pluginClass - The plugin class whose plugin type is needed.

Returns:

The plugin type, or null if no Plugin annotation exists for the given class.
