I have now checked in a foundation for the extension system in the trunk. It should be possible to start developing external extensions in the current state. A simple tutorial can be found at:
http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/trunk/html/developerdoc/extensions/extensions.html Note that you have to check out the trunk from our subversion server to be able to work with this. See http://base.thep.lu.se/wiki/DownloadPage There are also some "Hello world" extension examples to be found at: http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/net.sf.basedb.examples.extensions As usual, since this is non-released code, we can't make any guarantee of it's stability. In particular, don't install this in a production environment. Although we don't expect any major changes to the new extensions API, you should be prepared for minor changes to methods, classes, etc. at any time until the final 2.7 release. Currently, there are two extension points, one in the menu and one where the MeV Launcher is in the tree of bioassaysets in the analysis. Suggestions for other extension points can be posted to http://base.thep.lu.se/ticket/933 /Nicklas Nicklas Nordborg wrote: >> We agree with you, something more general is needed.
