Interface INonPluginEntry

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable

All Known Implementing Classes:

NonPluginEntry

public interface INonPluginEntry

extends IAdaptable

Non-plug-in entry defines an arbitrary non-plug-in data file packaged as part of a feature. Non-plug-in entries are not interpreted by the platform (other than being downloaded as part of an install action). They require a custom install handler to be specified as part of the feature. Note, that defining a non-plug-in entry does not necessarily indicate the non-plug-in file is packaged together with any other feature files. The actual packaging details are determined by the feature content provider for the feature.

Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients should directly instantiate or subclass the provided implementation of this interface.

getOS

public String getOS()

Returns optional operating system specification. A comma-separated list of os designators defined by the platform. Indicates this entry should only be installed on one of the specified os systems. If this attribute is not specified, the entry can be installed on all systems (portable implementation). This information is used as a hint by the installation and update support.

Returns:

the operating system specification, or null.

getWS

public String getWS()

Returns optional system architecture specification. A comma-separated list of arch designators defined by the platform. Indicates this entry should only be installed on one of the specified systems. If this attribute is not specified, the entry can be installed on all systems (portable implementation). This information is used as a hint by the installation and update support.

Returns:

system architecture specification, or null.

getArch

public String getArch()

Returns optional system architecture specification. A comma-separated list of arch designators defined by the platform. Indicates this entry should only be installed on one of the specified systems. If this attribute is not specified, the entry can be installed on all systems (portable implementation). This information is used as a hint by the installation and update support.

Returns:

system architecture specification, or null.

getNL

public String getNL()

Returns optional locale specification. A comma-separated list of locale designators defined by Java. Indicates this entry should only be installed on a system running with a compatible locale (using Java locale-matching rules). If this attribute is not specified, the entry can be installed on all systems (language-neutral implementation). This information is used as a hint by the installation and update support.

Returns:

the locale specification, or null.
