Using Plugins

Plugins extend the functionality of Analytic Workspace Manager. Any Java developer can create a plugin. Plugins are distributed as JAR files. The developer should provide information about what the plugin does and how to use it. If you have one or more plugins, then you only need to identify their location to Analytic Workspace Manager.

To use plugins:

1. Create a local directory for storing plugins for Analytic Workspace Manager.

2. Copy the JAR files to that directory.

3. Open Analytic Workspace Manager.

4. Choose Configuration from the Tools menu.

   The Configuration dialog box opens.

5. Set the preferences for plugins and click OK.

6. Close and reopen Analytic Workspace Manager.

   The new functionality provided by the plugins is available as menu choices.
