Package org.openstreetmap.josm.spi Description
This package contains services.
- Abstract service interfaces and
- manager classes to install a service provider and give access to the
functionality of the service.
Client code will only depend on the classes from the spi package, but not on
implementations of the service interface (service providers) which are found
elsewhere.
The concept is similar to Java Service Provider Interfaces (hence the name),
except the service providers are registered directly with a method call instead
of using ServiceLoader
to discover the providers on classpath.
