Interface ArtifactInstaller

All Superinterfaces:

ArtifactListener

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConfigInstaller

public interface ArtifactInstaller
extends ArtifactListener

Objects implementing this interface are able to directly install and uninstall supported artifacts. Artifacts that are transformed into bundles should use the ArtifactTransformer interface instead. Note that fileinstall does not keep track of those artifacts across restarts, so this means that after a restart, existing artifacts will be reported as new, while any deleted artifact won't be reported as deleted.

Method Summary
