- ClassLoader.findStepPluginWithID(id): change to: PluginRegistry.findPluginWithId(StepPluginType.getInstance(), id)
- StepPlugin: change to PluginInterface
- StepLoader.getStepClass(StepPlugin): (StepMetaInterface)PluginRegistry.loadClass(PluginInterface, PluginClassType.MainClassType)
- ClassLoader.getStepPluginID(StepMetaInterface): PluginRegistry.getPluginId(StepPluginType.getInstance(), StepMetaInterface)
- init(): taken over by PluginRegistry.init() and StepPluginType.searchPlugins()
- getPluginPackages(): is now available as getPluginPackages(PluginTypeInterface) returning a list of package names.
- getPluginInformation(): getPluginInformation(PluginTypeInterface) returning a RowBuffer object
The StepPlugin class and the PluginInterface are quite similar, you'll find your way around. We took the opportunity to correct a few mistakes from in that class though:
- getID(): since this wasn't a single ID, it got renamed to getIds() but it's an array of String as well.
- getDescription(): this was actually the name of the step so it's now called: getName()
- getTooltip(): this was actually the description of the step so it's now called: getDescription()
- getJarfiles(): moved to a list: getLibraries()
- getClassname(): move to a map: getClassMap()
- getIconFilename(): renamed to: getImageFile();
