In some cases you may need to extend the functionality of Oxygen XML Author both through
a framework and through a plugin. Normally, a framework
and a plugin both run in their own private classloader. If the
framework and the plugin use the same JAVA extensions/classes, it
is recommended that they share the same classloader. This way, the common classes are loaded
by only one Class Loader and they will both use the same static objects and have
the ability to cast objects between one another.
To do this, open the
Preferences dialog box , go to
Document Type Association, select the document type, go to the
Classpath tab, and in the Use parent classloader from
plugin with ID fields introduce the ID of the plugin. This ID is
declared in the configuration file of
the plugin.
If you have created the framework using a Framework Extension Script, then edit
the script and specify the plugin ID on the classpath.
Important: The shared classes must be specified only in the configuration files of
the plugin, and not in the configuration file and the document type class path at
the same time.
