Warning
This is a very draft version.
In the following it is explained how you can initialisation you module during the start-up phase of the application or if you need to clean up some allocated resources when you module is shutdown.
import org.openide.modules.OnStart;
import org.openide.modules.OnStop;
import org.openide.windows.OnShowing;
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
public class Module {
private Module() {
}
@OnStart
public static class StartOp implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
}
}
@OnShowing()
public static class ShowingOp implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
}
}
@OnStop
public static class MaybeStopOp implements Callable {
@Override
public Boolean call() {
return Boolean.TRUE;
}
@OnStop
public static class StopOp implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
}
}
In your maven pom file you will need the following NetBeans dependencies
<dependency>
// needed for the @OnStart and @OnStop annotations
<groupId>org.netbeans.api</groupId>
<artifactId>org-openide-modules</artifactId>
<version>RELEASE802</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
// needed for the @OnShowing annotation
<groupId>org.netbeans.api</groupId>
<artifactId>org-openide-windows</artifactId>
<version>RELEASE802</version>
</dependency>
