public interface Service
extends RichPlugin, Initializable, Disposable

A SciJava service, for a particular area of functionality.

Services discoverable at runtime must implement this interface and be annotated with @Plugin with attribute Plugin.type() = Service.class. While it possible to create a service merely by implementing this interface, it is encouraged to instead extend AbstractService, for convenience.

Method Detail

registerEventHandlers

default void registerEventHandlers()

Registers the service's event handler methods.

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.

initialize

default void initialize()

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.
