  extended by org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin

All Implemented Interfaces:
org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator

public class TablePlugin
extends AbstractUIPlugin

The activator class controls the Table plug-in's life cycle. This plug-in implements the DataComponent Extension Point of the KIELER Execution Manager two times. The first as a role of a data producer, the second as a role of a data observer. In its second role the table is desired to display all variables (and signals respectively) that are produces by the various data producer components. In its first role it should also allow the user to edit variable oder signal values or enter new ones. The table data producer should be scheduled before observer DataComponents that observe variables that should be entered/modified by the table (that means somewhere at the top of the scheduling list). The table data observer should be scheduled after producer DataComponents that producer variables that should be displayed by the table (that means somewhere at the bottom of the scheduling list).
