  extended byorg.eclipse.core.runtime.ContributorFactoryOSGi

public final class ContributorFactoryOSGi
extends Object

The contributor factory creates new registry contributors for use in OSGi-based registries.

This class can not be extended or instantiated by clients.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Since:
org.eclipse.equinox.registry 3.2
