Interface IContributor

public interface IContributor

This interface describes a registry contributor - an entity that supplies information to the extension registry.

Registry contributor objects can be obtained by calling IExtensionPoint.getContributor(), IExtension.getContributor(), and IConfigurationElement.getContributor(). Alternatively, a contributor factory appropriate for the registry in use can be called to directly obtain an IContributor object.

This interface is not intended to be implemented or extended by clients.
