Interface Extension

  • public interface Extension
    An extension declared in a module.

    If declared in a module manifest (module.xml), an extension has the following syntax: 

        <extension point="point">
       configuration element 1
       configuration element 2
       ...
    </extension>

    An extension can also have an optional identifier which makes it possible to retrieve it via the Module.getExtension(String) method: 

        <extension id="id" point="point">
       ...
    </extension>
    This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
