        <span class="application">QuickNotepad</span> plugin, along with the jEdit
        APIs it makes use of. But first, we describe how plugins are
        loaded.</p><p>As part of its startup routine, jEdit's main
        method calls various methods to load and initialize plugins.</p><p>Additionally, plugins using the jEdit 4.2 plugin API can be loaded
        and unloaded at any time. This is a great help when developing your own
        plugins -- there is no need to restart the editor after making changes
        (see <a class="xref" href="plugin-implement-reloading.html" title="Reloading the Plugin">the section called “Reloading the Plugin”</a> ).</p><p>Plugins are loaded from files with the <code class="filename">.jar</code>
        filename extension located in the <code class="filename">jars</code>
        subdirectories of the jEdit installation and user settings directories
        (see <a class="xref" href="settings-directory.html" title="The jEdit Settings Directory">the section called “The jEdit Settings Directory”</a>).</p><p>For each JAR archive file it finds, jEdit scans its entries and
        performs the following tasks:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>Adds to a collection maintained by jEdit a new object of
                type <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/PluginJAR.html" target="_top">
                <code class="classname">PluginJAR</code></a>. This is a data
                structure holding the name of the JAR archive file, a reference
                to the <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/JARClassLoader.html" target="_top">
                <code class="classname">JARClassLoader</code></a>, and a collection
                of plugins found in the archive file.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Loads any properties defined in files ending with the
                extension <code class="filename">.props</code> that are contained in the
                archive. See <a class="xref" href="plugin-implement-properties.html" title="The Property Files">the section called “The Property Files”</a>.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Reads action definitions from any file named
                <code class="filename">actions.xml</code> in the archive (the file need
                not be at the top level). See <a class="xref" href="plugin-implement-actions.html" title="The Actions.xml Catalog">the section called “The Actions.xml Catalog”</a>.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Parses and loads the contents of any file named
                <code class="filename">dockables.xml</code> in the archive (the file need
                not be at the top level). This file contains BeanShell code for
                creating docking or floating windows that will contain the
                visible components of the plugin. Not all plugins define
                dockable windows, but those that do need a
                <code class="filename">dockables.xml</code> file. See <a class="xref" href="plugin-implement-dockables.html" title="The dockables.xml Window Catalog">the section called “The dockables.xml Window Catalog”</a>.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Checks for a class name with a name ending with
                <code class="filename">Plugin.class</code>.</p><p>Such a class is known as a <em class="firstterm">plugin core
                class</em> and must extend jEdit's abstract
                <code class="classname">EditPlugin</code></a> class.</p><p>The initialization routine checks the plugin's properties
                to see if it is subject to any dependencies. For example, a
                plugin may require that the version of the Java runtime
                environment or of jEdit itself be equal to or above some
                threshold version. A plugin can also require the presence of
                another plugin.</p><p>If any dependency is not satisfied, the loader marks the
                plugin as <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">broken</span>”</span> and logs an error
                message.</p></li></ul></div><p>After scanning the plugin JAR file and loading any resources, a
        new instance of the plugin core class is created and added to the
        collection maintained by the appropriate <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/PluginJAR.html" target="_top">
        <code class="classname">PluginJAR</code></a>. jEdit then calls the
        <code class="function">start()</code> method of the plugin core class. The
        <code class="function">start()</code> method can perform initialization of the
        object's data members. Because this method is defined as an empty
        <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">no-op</span>”</span> in the <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/EditPlugin.html" target="_top">
        <code class="classname">EditPlugin</code></a> abstract class, a plugin need
        not provide an implementation if no unique initialization is
        required.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="plugin-implement.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="plugin-implement.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="plugin-implement-quicknotepadplugin.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 18.
