Class BuddiRunnablePlugin

java.lang.Object
  org.homeunix.thecave.buddi.plugin.api.PreferenceAccess
      org.homeunix.thecave.buddi.plugin.api.BuddiRunnablePlugin

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable, MossPlugin, MossRunnablePlugin

public abstract class BuddiRunnablePlugin
extends PreferenceAccess
implements MossRunnablePlugin

A generic Buddi plugin, which will be loaded at the beginning of the session, just after the init() of MainFrame is completed. You can use this plugin type for extending main Buddi functionality, instead of adding well defined features such as Reports and Export abilities. To aid in running this (and to potentially allow it to be run in a thread, if desired) this plugin implements Runnable. When implementing this class, just create the run() method with whatever code you wish.
