public static class MetaDef.Plugin extends ElementDef implements MetaDef.Definition
A Plugin in a special type of element whose content may be derived from a different model. The exact model to use is specified by the individual XML file, allowing a Plugin element to link to another model dynamically. The Plugin element automatically defines the defPackage and defClass attributes. Other attributes may be added as needed. Code and documentation sections are supported as well.

      Parameters:
      _out - the PrintWriter to which to write this NodeDef.
      _indent - the indentation level for the printout.
    • displayXML

      public void displayXML(XMLOutput _out, int _indent)
      Description copied from interface: NodeDef

    • displayDiff

      public boolean displayDiff(ElementDef _other, PrintWriter _out, int _indent)
      Description copied from class: ElementDef
      The displayDiff function compares this element definition against another, compiling a message containing all diffs. It is used internally by the equals(), diff(), and verifyEquals() functions.
      Overrides:
      displayDiff in class ElementDef
      Parameters:
      _other - the ElementDef to which to compare this element.
      _out - a PrintWriter to which to display any discovered differences, or null if just doing an equality check (and no diff report is needed).
      _indent - the current indentation level (used for nice display of diffs).
      Returns:
      true if this and other match exactly, false if not.
