Plugin properties

You set the plugin properties in the default.xml file.

The Web Crawler contains a number of plugins that perform the core work of the crawler tasks. By using the properties listed in the table, you can configure which plugins to activate and how to handle non-activated plugins that are needed by activated plugins.
Property Name Property Value
plugin.folders Comma-delimited list of directory pathnames (default is IAS\<version>\lib\web-crawler\plugins). Specifies the directories where the plugins are located. Each element may be a relative or absolute path. If absolute, it is used as-is. If relative, it is searched for on the CLASSPATH.
plugin.auto-activation Boolean value (default is true). Specifies if some plugins that are not activated by the plugin.includes and plugin.excludes properties must be automatically activated if they are needed by some activated plugins.
plugin.includes Regular expression. Specifies which plugin IDs to include. Any plugin not matching this expression is excluded.
plugin.excludes Regular expression (default is empty). Specifies which plugin IDs to exclude.
