System plugins

User interface for managing system plugin. These plugins are available to all clients of the system.

You can add custom functionality to Xima® Formcycle by uploading custom plugins written in Java on the system plugin management page.

Contrary to client plugin, system plugins are available to all client. Uploading system plugin works similarly to client plugins see, see the help pages on client plugins for further instructions.

When a plugin with the same name exists for a client, it takes priority and will be used instead of the system plugin.

User interface for uploading custom plugins on the client plugin management page

If the plugin manifest contains the attribute Build-Time or Build-Timestamp, the value of that attribute is shown next to the plugin version, provided it is a SNAPSHOT version. This is helpful when you develop plugins as it helps yuo to distinguish between different SNAPSHOT versions.

You can add custom functionality to Xima® Formcycle by uploading custom plugins written in Java on the system plugin management page.

Uploading a plugin bundle

Click the browse button and select the JAR file to upload the plugin. The field bundle name will show the file name of the uploaded file.

Finally, click save or the plugin will not be registered.

While saving, the system will scan the JAR file for implementations of one of the above-mentioned interfaces that will then be available.

Should the JAR file not contain at least of Xima® Formcycle's plugin interfaces, the plugin will be discarded and will not be available.

Deactivating a plugin

Use the button   to deactivate the selected plugin and the button   to activate it again. A deactivated plugin behaves as if it had been deleted. However, all configured settings of the plugin remain saved and the plugin may be activated again at any time.
