23 * SECTION:anjuta-plugin
24 * @short_description: Anjuta plugin base class from which all plugins are
25 * derived.
26 * @see_also: #AnjutaPluginManager, #AnjutaProfileManager
27 * @stability: Unstable
28 * @include: libanjuta/anjuta-plugin.h
30 * Anjuta plugins are components which are loaded in Anjuta IDE shell
31 * either on startup or on demand to perform various subtasks. Plugins are
32 * specialized in doing only a very specific task and can let other plugins
33 * interract with it using interfaces.
35 * A plugin class is derived from #AnjutaPlugin class and will be used by
36 * shell to instanciate any number of plugin objects.
38 * When a plugin class is derived from #AnjutaPlugin, the virtual mehtods
39 * <emphasis>activate</emphasis> and <emphasis>deactivate</emphasis> must
40 * be implemented. The <emphasis>activate</emphasis> method is used to
41 * activate the plugin. Note that plugin activation is different from plugin
42 * instance initialization. Instance initialization is use to do internal
43 * initialization, while <emphasis>activate</emphasis> method is used to
44 * setup the plugin in shell, UI and preferences. Other plugins can also
45 * be queried in <emphasis>activate</emphasis> method.
47 * Following things should be done in <emphasis>activate</emphasis> method.
48 * <orderedlist>
49 * <listitem>
50 * <para>
51 * Register UI Actions: Use anjuta_ui_add_action_group_entries() or
52 * anjuta_ui_add_toggle_action_group_entries() to add your action
53 * groups.
54 * </para>
55 * </listitem>
56 * <listitem>
57 * <para>
58 * Merge UI definition file: Use anjuta_ui_merge() to merge a UI
59 * file. See #AnjutaUI for more detail.
60 * </para>
61 * </listitem>
62 * <listitem>
63 * <para>
64 * Add widgets to Anjuta Shell: If the plugin has one or more
65 * widgets as its User Interface, they can be added with
66 * anjuta_shell_add_widget().
67 * </para>
68 * </listitem>
69 * <listitem>
70 * <para>
71 * Setup value watches with anjuta_plugin_add_watch().
72 * </para>
73 * </listitem>
74 * </orderedlist>
76 * <emphasis>deactivate</emphasis> method undos all the above. That is, it
77 * removes widgets from the shell, unmerges UI and removes the action groups.
79 * Plugins interact with each other using interfaces. A plugin can expose an
80 * interface which will let other plugins find it. Any number of interfaces can
81 * be exposed by a plugin. These exposed interfaces are called
82 * <emphasis>Primary</emphasis> interfaces of the plugin. The condition for
83 * the interfaces to be primary is that they should be independent (i.e.
84 * an external entity requesting to use a primary interface should not require
85 * other primary interfaces). For example, an editor plugin can implement
86 * #IAnjutaEditor, #IAnjutaStream and #IAnjutaFile interfaces and expose them
87 * as primary interfaces, because they are independent.
88 * <emphasis>Primary</emphasis> interfaces exposed by a plugin are exported in
89 * its plugin meta-data file, so that plugin manager could register them.
91 * Any other interfaces implemented by the plugin are called
92 * <emphasis>Secondary</emphasis> interfaces and they generally depend on
93 * one or more primary interfaces.
94 * For example, #IAnjutaEditor is the primary interface of anjuta-editor plugin,
95 * but it also implements secondary interfaces #IAnjutaEditorGutter and
96 * #IAnjutaEditorBuffer. Notice that secondary interfaces #IAnjutaEditorGutter
97 * and #IAnjutaEditorBuffer depend on #IAnjutaEditor interface.
99 * The purpose of distinguishing between primary and
100 * secondary interfaces is only at plugin level. At code level, they behave
101 * just the same and there is no difference.
102 * So, a natural sequence for a plugin to communicate with another plugin is:
103 * <orderedlist>
104 * <listitem>
105 * <para>
106 * Query the shell for a plugin implemeting the primary interface
107 * using anjuta_shell_get_interface(). It will return an
108 * implemetation of the interface (or %NULL if not found).
109 * Do not save this object for longer use, because the implementor
110 * plugin can change anytime and a different plugin implementing
111 * the same primary interface may be activated.
112 * <programlisting>
113 * GError *err = NULL;
114 * IAnjutaDocumentManager *docman;
115 * IAnjutaEditor *editor;
117 * docman = anjuta_shell_get_interface (ANJUTA_PLUGIN(plugin)->shell,
118 * IAnjutaDocumentManager, &amp;err);
119 * if (err)
121 * g_warning ("Error encountered: %s", err->message);
122 * g_error_free (err);
123 * return;
126 * editor = ianjuta_document_manager_get_current_editor (docman, &amp;err);
127 * if (err)
129 * g_warning ("Error encountered: %s", err->message);
130 * g_error_free (err);
131 * return;
134 * ianjuta_editor_goto_line (editor, 200);
135 * ...
136 * </programlisting>
137 * </para>
138 * </listitem>
139 * <listitem>
140 * <para>
141 * A primary interface of a plugin can be directly used, but
142 * to use a secondary interface, make sure to check if the plugin
143 * object implements it. For example, to check if editor plugin
144 * implements IAnjutaEditorGutter interface, do something like:
145 * <programlisting>
147 * if (IANJUTA_IS_EDITOR_GUTTER(editor))
149 * ianjuta_editor_gutter_set_marker(IANJUTA_EDITOR_GUTTER (editor),
150 * ANJUTA_EDITOR_MARKER_1,
151 * line_number, &amp;err);
153 * </programlisting>
154 * </para>
155 * </listitem>
156 * </orderedlist>
158 * Plugins can also communicate with outside using Shell's <emphasis>Values
159 * System</emphasis>. Values are objects exported by plugins to make them
160 * available to other plugins. Read #AnjutaShell documentation for more
161 * detail on <emphasis>Values System</emphasis>. A plugin can set up watches
162 * with anjuta_plugin_add_watch() to get notifications for values exported
163 * by other plugins.
165 * Values are very unreliable way of passing objects between plugins, but are
166 * nevertheless very useful (and quicker to code). It must be used with care.
167 * As a rule of thumb, a plugin should only watch values of other trusted
168 * plugins. For example, a group of plugins forming a subsystem can comfortably
169 * use values to pass objects and notifications. Use anjuta_plugin_add_watch()
170 * and anjuta_plugin_remove_watch() to add or remove value watches.
