orignal btw, what is a plugin technically?
orignal and what needs to be implemneted on router side?
orignal e.g. bascially what invokes plugin code?
RN router side, yes. invokes code, yes. has specs? see dr|z3d's link
RN my favorite is probably the SnowMan plugin
RN ;)
orignal thanks, I will check
orignal it doesn't explain how it work
zzz what do you want to know
eyedeekay Somebody's experimenting with github account takeover techniques today
eyedeekay Don't accept transfer-ownership of repositories from strangers :)
orignal zzz, I want to know how can I call plugin from i2pd through a JNI wrapper
orignal say, you have a plugin like susimail
orignal how plugins get registered and get invoked
eyedeekay orignal it's probably easier to do it **without** a plugin in the case of something like susimail
eyedeekay With something like susimail it's probably quicker write some launcher/wrapper stuff and package it to run standalone like snark
eyedeekay Plugins let the applications that implement them appear as ClientApp, which lets them have their lifecycle managed by the ClientAppManager
eyedeekay And they get access to a bunch of Java APIs
eyedeekay Not sure how much you even care about those things, my impression is that i2pd people do what plugins do with ClientAppManager using a service manager or docker-compose
zzz orignal, JNI is really for calling from java out to native, not the other way
zzz plugins are meant to be plugged in to a running router and/or console
zzz you couldn't really fire up a i2p plugin from i2pd, just like you couldn't run a firefox plugin or a netscape plugin either
zzz or eclipse plugin
zzz the details are in the spec but it's very java-specific, it's build around java APIs and java dynamic classloading
orignal come on. JNI is also used another way
orignal did it million times before
orignal JNI lib called from C++
orignal it's still not an answer
orignal and yes I can run firefox plugin in another browser if write a proper api wrapper
orignal and again that question is what is an entry point of plugin
orignal how to create an envoronment for plugin it's another task
eyedeekay re: registration/invocation: Plugins get registered with the java "ClientAppManager" as "ClientApp"s, they have "properties" file which define whether they should run when the router starts or when activated by user-action, they define startup and shutdown methods when they implement the ClientApp, those startup and shutdown methods are invoked by the CAM at the time specified by A) the properties file
eyedeekay or B) when initiated by user action
zzz orignal, the entry point is configured in plugin.config. See the spec.
dr|z3d zzz, come on.
dr|z3d *** chuckles. ***
orignal thanks. got it
orignal so, what I need. read config and call specified method from class file through JNI
dr|z3d orignal's response.. made me laugh.
orignal then it easy to implement
zzz right. plugin.config contains all the metadata
zzz correction, while most metadata is in plugin.config, the entry point is specified in clients.config
orignal ofc if I want to use a plugin I need to prvide own wrapper replacing Java router's calls
