\class ExtensionSystem::IPlugin
\mainclass
\brief Base class for all plugins.
The IPlugin class is an abstract class that must be implemented
once for each plugin.
A plugin consists of two parts: A description file, and a library
that at least contains the IPlugin implementation.
\tableofcontents
\section1 Plugin Specification
A plugin needs to provide a plugin specification file in addition
to the actual plugin library, so the plugin manager can find the plugin,
resolve its dependencies, and load it. For more information,
see \l{Plugin Specifications}.
\section1 Plugin Implementation
Plugins must provide one implementation of the IPlugin class, located
in a library that matches the \c name attribute given in their
XML description. The IPlugin implementation must be exported and
made known to Qt's plugin system, see the Qt Documentation on the
\l{http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtplugin.html#Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2}
{Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2 macro}.
After the plugins' XML files have been read, and dependencies have been
found, the plugin loading is done in three phases:
\list 1
\o All plugin libraries are loaded in \e{root-to-leaf} order of the
dependency tree.
\o All plugins' initialize methods are called in \e{root-to-leaf} order
of the dependency tree. This is a good place to put
objects in the plugin manager's object pool.
\o All plugins' extensionsInitialized methods are called in \e{leaf-to-root}
order of the dependency tree. At this point, plugins can
be sure that all plugins that depend on this plugin have
been initialized completely (implying that they have put
objects in the object pool, if they want that during the
initialization sequence).
\endlist
If library loading or initialization of a plugin fails, all plugins
that depend on that plugin also fail.
Plugins have access to the plugin manager
(and its object pool) via the PluginManager::instance()
method.
*/
/*!
\fn bool IPlugin::initialize(const QStringList &arguments, QString *errorString)
\brief Called after the plugin has been loaded and the IPlugin instance
has been created.
The initialize methods of plugins that depend
on this plugin are called after the initialize method of this plugin
has been called. Plugins should initialize their internal state in this
method. Returns if initialization of successful. If it wasn't successful,
the \a errorString should be set to a user-readable message
describing the reason.
\sa extensionsInitialized()
\sa delayedInitialize()
*/
/*!
\fn void IPlugin::extensionsInitialized()
\brief Called after the IPlugin::initialize() method has been called,
and after both the IPlugin::initialize() and IPlugin::extensionsInitialized()
methods of plugins that depend on this plugin have been called.
In this method, the plugin can assume that plugins that depend on
this plugin are fully 'up and running'. It is a good place to
look in the plugin manager's object pool for objects that have
been provided by dependent plugins.
\sa initialize()
\sa delayedInitialize()
*/
/*!
\fn bool IPlugin::delayedInitialize()
\brief Called after all plugins' IPlugin::extensionsInitialized() method has been called,
and after the IPlugin::delayedInitialize() method of plugins that depend on this plugin
have been called.
The plugins' delayedInitialize() methods are called after the application is already running,
with a few milliseconds delay to application startup, and between individual delayedInitialize
method calls. To avoid unnecessary delays, a plugin should return true from the method if it
actually implements it, to indicate that the next plugins' delayedInitialize() call should
be delayed a few milliseconds to give input and paint events a chance to be processed.
This method can be used if a plugin needs to do non-trivial setup that doesn't
necessarily needs to be done directly at startup, but still should be done within a
short time afterwards. This can increase the felt plugin/application startup
time a lot, with very little effort.
\sa initialize()
\sa extensionsInitialized()
*/
/*!
\fn IPlugin::ShutdownFlag IPlugin::aboutToShutdown()
\brief Called during a shutdown sequence in the same order as initialization
before the plugins get deleted in reverse order.
This method should be used to disconnect from other plugins,
hide all UI, and optimize shutdown in general.
If a plugin needs to delay the real shutdown for a while, for example if
it needs to wait for external processes to finish for a clean shutdown,
the plugin can return IPlugin::AsynchronousShutdown from this method. This
will keep the main event loop running after the aboutToShutdown() sequence
has finished, until all plugins requesting AsynchronousShutdown have sent
the asynchronousShutdownFinished() signal.
The default implementation of this method does nothing and returns
IPlugin::SynchronousShutdown.
Returns IPlugin::AsynchronousShutdown if the plugin needs to perform
asynchronous actions before performing the shutdown.
\sa asynchronousShutdownFinished()
*/
/*!
\fn void IPlugin::asynchronousShutdownFinished()
Sent by the plugin implementation after a asynchronous shutdown
is ready to proceed with the shutdown sequence.
