Interface PluginStrategy

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensionPoint

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassicPluginStrategy

public interface PluginStrategy
extends ExtensionPoint

Pluggability point for how to create PluginWrapper.

This extension point was added to allow plugins to be loaded into a different environment (such as loading it in an existing DI container like Plexus.) A plugin strategy is a singleton instance, and as such this feature is primarily meant for OEM. See PluginManager.createPluginStrategy() for how this instance is created.
