public interface OVLCompatibilityHandlerFactory
This interface must be derived by a custom plug-in class in order to implement
OVL code compatibility between different versions of a plug-in.
For instance, an OVL field "foo" might have been renamed to "bar":
Or a field might have been moved to another namespace. A OVLCompatibilityHandler tells Omix, how to treat these inconsistencies during file load operations.
A custom class implementing
extend Reaction{
int foo;
}extend Reaction{
int bar;
}
Or a field might have been moved to another namespace. A OVLCompatibilityHandler tells Omix, how to treat these inconsistencies during file load operations.
A custom class implementing
OVLCompatibilityHandlerFactory
can be registered at the Omix Plug-in Manager:<OVLCompatibilityHandlerFactory>mypackage.MyOVLCompatibilityHandlerFactory</OVLCompatibilityHandlerFactory>
