Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Crawler Plug-in Requirements

In this sub-module, you learn some of the crawler plug-in requirements before implementing them.

Before developing crawler plug-ins, it is a must that all the requirements are listed and fulfilled.

The developer of the crawler plug-in should first understand the basic requirements that need to be met and also the technology to be used. The developer must also decide which document attributes need to be extracted before creating the plug-in. In case the developer of the crawler plug-in feels that some other Java classes are needed by the plug-in, then such classes should be listed and included in the plug-in .jar file. Another key requirement is to determine if the plug-in code relies on any library files.

You will watch Timothy put together his requirements list as we proceed through this module.
