Hi developers, GSoC mentors and students like me,

I met some questions reading the codebase of 
external-workspace-manager-plugin, and they should appear in other jenkins 
plugins as well. So these are quite general and I wonder they might help 
students like me understand  jenkins better. Hope someone can answer them 
and welcome to post your questions under this. The source code is : 
https://github.com/jenkinsci/external-workspace-manager-plugin

supposing we are under working directory : 
external-workspace-manager-plugin/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/ewm


QUESTION 1 : in file ~/definitions/Disk.java

The Disk class is a concrete class, but now I want to change it to a base 
class so I there can be more disk types with specific targets. What should 
I do to turn it into a base class properly ? for example : should I keep 
the @DataBoundConstructor  annotations on the constructor ? Should I move 
the nested static descriptor class outside the origin class(since we 
declared a final attribute, which make it non-abstract) ?


QUESTION 2 : in file ~/DiskInfoProviderDescriptor.java line 23

How to analyze this line : public DiskInfoProviderDescriptor(Class<? 
extends DiskInfoProvider> clazz) {super(clazz);}
This is a more Java language problem. Why would we need derived class' 
metadata passed to the Descriptor<DiskInfoProvider> (or when is this 
constructor called) ?

Thanks !
Yufei Zhang
