Archive Handlers

org.eclipse.rse.services.archivehandlers

This extension point is used to plug in additional archive handlers. Archive handlers are used to provide seamless integration of archives within the RSE. For example, an archive can be expanded to show its contents in RSE if an archive handler is registered for that archive type and handles showing the contents of archives.

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.services.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 the org.eclipse.rse.files.ui plugin, provides three default implementations of this extension point for ZIP, JAR, and TAR archives.
