Interface EditorPluginsFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

CodeEditorPluginsFactory

public interface EditorPluginsFactory

The EditorPluginsFactory defines an interface that allows clients of the Code Editor to indicate what EditorPlugins they are interested in installing when a new editor is opened.

The typical mechnanism for registering specific plugin Class objects with specific node types only works when all of the plugins can be constructed solely by a default constructor. As this may be a bit of a hindrance to some clients, the EditorPluginsFactory interface was defined to allow clients to construct their plugins with more than just the default constructor.
