id - a unique name that will be used to identify the Archive Handler.
name - a translatable name that will be used to identify this Archive Handler in the UI.
class - a fully qualified name of the Java class that implements the org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.archiveutils.ISystemArchiveHandler interface.
fileNameExtension - The filename extension to associate this Archive Handler with. For example, one would associate a Zip Handler with extension "zip".

The following is an example of this extension point's usage:

   <extension point=
"org.eclipse.rse.ui.archivehandlers"
>
      <archivehandler
         id=
"org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.archiveutils.systemziphandler"

         name=
"Zip File Handler"

         class=
"org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.archiveutils.SystemZipHandler"
>
      </archivehandler>
   </extension>

Plug-ins that want to extend this extension point must implement org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.archiveutils.ISystemArchiveHandler interface.

The Remote System Explorer in org.eclipse.rse.files.ui provides three default implementations of this extension point, for ZIP, JAR, and TAR Archives.
