plugins

Extension allowing one to register transformation plugins

A transformation plugin must implements :
org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.interfaces.PLugin and should extend :
org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.plugin.AbstractPlugin


A plugin is responsible for a given transformation of one or several input files to one or
several output files.


For instance a plugin converting pdf to text using pdfbox :

        <extension point="plugins" target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.service.TransformService">
          <plugin class="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.plugin.pdfbox.impl.PDFBoxPluginImpl" destinationMimeType="plain/text" name="pdf2text">
            <sourceMimeType>application/pdf</sourceMimeType>
          </plugin>
        </extension>
      

You can find the plugin implementation class over there :
org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.plugin.pdfbox.impl.PDFBoxPluginImpl

transformers

Extension allowing one to register transformation chains.


A transformer takes given sources and transform them using default and/or runtime
options. The transformation is performed by underlying plugins defined in a ordered
plugins chain.


In most of the cases you won't need to deploy your own transformer. You will simply need to
contribute a well configured transformer extension.
