Method Detail

start

public void start(org.osgi.framework.BundleContext context)
           throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

start in interface org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator

Overrides:

start in class org.eclipse.ui.plugin.AbstractUIPlugin

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

earlyStartup

public void earlyStartup()

Using early startup forces this plugin to be loaded when Eclipse starts. That gets the console initiated so that output goes to the application console rather than to the parent console or into the bitbucket. This method and the IStartup interface are not needed if we no longer use the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point for this plugin.

Specified by:

earlyStartup in interface org.eclipse.ui.IStartup

stop

public void stop(org.osgi.framework.BundleContext context)
          throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

stop in interface org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator

Overrides:

stop in class org.eclipse.ui.plugin.AbstractUIPlugin

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getDefault

Returns the shared instance

Returns:

the shared instance

getImageDescriptor

public static org.eclipse.jface.resource.ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor(java.lang.String path)

Returns an image descriptor for the image file at the given plug-in relative path

Parameters:
