FindJSPServlet This interface allows plugins to specify the location of servlets generated for JSPs.
ModuleChangeDescriptor This interface allows a plugin to find out what about a module or application has changed since the last deployment.
OldJSPDebug This interface should be implemented by plugins that want to support JSP source level debugging, but do not support JSR 45.
OldJSPDebug.JspSourceMapper Provides common interface for JSP <----> Java mappings
OldJSPDebug.JspSourceMapper.NameConverter Converts the JSP file name (from the string int the servlet comments into the Forte4J resource name)
RegistryNodeFactory This interface allows plugin to create all the registry nodes (other than the root node) as Node subclasses, and use FilterNode to generate the display, adding infrastructure actions in, and exposing certain infrastructure to the plugins for use in constructing nodes.

IncrementalDeployment This interface replaces DeploymentManager calls deploy and redeploy during directory-based deployment.

Plugin API

The module layer contains two important types of information. Plugins register deployment factory, xml file that describes the plugin and additional factory classes for optional fuctionality. Modules that bundle J2EE servers can use layer for registration of J2EE servers instances.

An additional xml file is provided when a plugin is turned into a module to provide additional information. Class files are also supplied. This additional information is put into a netbeans modules that uses the deployment plugin as an external resource.

The dtd for this xml file is available.
