Class AActionPlugin

java.lang.Object
  org.pf.tools.cda.xpi.APluginImplementation
      org.pf.tools.cda.ui.xpi.AActionPlugin

All Implemented Interfaces:

IPluginActionInfo, IPluginInfo

Direct Known Subclasses:

AModelExporterUIPlugin, ASubWindowPlugin

public abstract class AActionPlugin
extends APluginImplementation
implements IPluginActionInfo

The purpose of this abstract plugin implementation is to provide default implementations of methods that may be overridden by subclasses. This is more stable in comparison to an interface, since adding new methods won't break already existing subclasses.

All subclasses must implement a public non-argument constructor!
