Interface IVMInstall2

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractVMInstall, StandardVM, VMStandin

public interface IVMInstall2

Optional extensions that may be implemented by an IVMInstall.

When an IVMInstall implements this interface, clients must call getVMArgs() in place of getVMArguments() and setVMArgs(String) in place of setVMArguments(String[]). This avoids the problem noted in bug 73493.

Additionally, this interface optionally provides the JavaScript version associated with a VM install.

Clients that implement IVMInstall may additionally implement this interface. However, it is strongly recommended that clients subclass AbstractVMInstall instead, which already implements this interface, and will insulate clients from additional API additions in the future.

Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.


Method Summary
