| <h1>EASE Modules</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Using Modules</h2> |
| |
| Modules provide a simple way to access commonly used API. By default it enforces a functional style of programming also for inexperienced programmers. |
| The <i>Modules Explorer</i> view provides browsing support and help documentation for available modules. |
| <p> |
| Before a module function can be used, the corresponding module needs to be loaded: |
| </p> |
| <pre>loadModule("/System/Resources"); |
| getWorkspace();</pre> |
| |
| <h2>Writing Modules</h2> |
| |
| Modules are Java classes that get registered via an extension point. |
| The simplest modules are POJOs without any dependency to EASE or Eclipse. By using Annotations module developers get more control on which functionality is available to script developers. |
| <p>A full tutorial on writing modules is available on the <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/EASE/Module_Contribution">EASE Wiki</a>. |
