public class ModuleExtension

extends AbstractBuildable

implements GameComponent

An optional extension to a GameModule Like a GameModule, it is built from scratch from a 'buildFile' in a DataArchive The components described in the buildFile are appended to components in the base DataArchive

Method Detail

getVersion

public java.lang.String getVersion()

getDataArchive

public DataArchive getDataArchive()

build

public void build()

getRestoreCommand

public Command getRestoreCommand()

Description copied from interface: GameComponent

When saving a game, each GameComponent should return a Command that, when executed, restores the GameComponent to its state when the game was saved If this component has no persistent state, return null

Specified by:

getRestoreCommand in interface GameComponent

setup

public void setup(boolean gameStarting)

Description copied from interface: GameComponent

Notify the GameComponent that a game has started/ended

Specified by:

setup in interface GameComponent

Following copied from interface: VASSAL.build.module.GameComponent

Parameters:

gameStarting - if true, a game is starting. If false, then a game is ending

getAttributeNames

public java.lang.String[] getAttributeNames()

Overrides:

getAttributeNames in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from class: VASSAL.build.AbstractBuildable

Returns:

a list of all attribute names for this component

getAllowableConfigureComponents

public java.lang.Class[] getAllowableConfigureComponents()

getHelpFile

public HelpFile getHelpFile()

removeFrom

public void removeFrom(Buildable parent)

confirmExit

public boolean confirmExit()

getAttributeValueString

public java.lang.String getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Return a String representation of the attribute with the given name. When initializing a module, this String value will be passed to AbstractBuildable.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object).

Overrides:

getAttributeValueString in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from class: VASSAL.build.AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String key,
                         java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Sets an attribute value for this component. The key parameter will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames(). If the value parameter is a String, it will be the value returned by AbstractBuildable.getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String) for the same key. If the implementing class extends AbstractConfigurable, then value will be an instance of the corresponding Class listed in AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes()

Overrides:

setAttribute in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from class: VASSAL.build.AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

addTo

public void addTo(Buildable parent)

Description copied from interface: Buildable

Adds this component to its parent. In order to make Buildable objects extensible, the child is reponsible for adding itself to the parent. That way, Buildable subcomponents can be defined in an extension package without needing to modify the containing class.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

buildString

public java.lang.String buildString()

save

public void save()
          throws java.io.IOException

saveAs

public void saveAs()
            throws java.io.IOException

remove

public void remove(ExtensionElement el)

getEditAction

public javax.swing.Action getEditAction(javax.swing.JDialog d)
