Register

 

The register extension point is used for the following:

• To allow your plug-in to register itself with the WebSphere MQ Explorer. Every plug-in for the WebSphere MQ Explorer must include this extension point in plugin.xml. With out it, any function your plug-in adds to the WebSphere MQ Explorer will not be activated.

• To enable notify events. For information on notify events, see Notify events.

The following code extract is taken from the file, plugin.xml, from the simple plug-in and shows a basic implementation of the register extension point:

<extension
   id="com.ibm.mq.explorer.sample.simple"
   name="Simple Sample"
   point="com.ibm.mq.explorer.ui.registerplugin">
 <pluginDetails
   pluginId="com.ibm.mq.explorer.sample.simple"
   name="Simple"
   class="com.ibm.mq.explorer.sample.simple.SimpleNotify"
   enabledByDefault="true"
   description="a very simple sample plugin to Explorer"
   vendor="IBM">
 </pluginDetails>
</extension>

• Enabling and disabling a plug-in
  

• Notify events
