getPluginName

public java.lang.String getPluginName(java.io.File pluginDir)

Gets the name of a plugin based on its directory. The method basically finds the plugin descriptor and uses the name of the class to determine the plugin name. To be honest, this class shouldn't be plugin-aware in my view, so hopefully this will only be a temporary method.

Parameters:

pluginDir - The directory containing the plugin.

Returns:

The name of the plugin contained in the given directory.

getPluginDescriptor

public java.io.File getPluginDescriptor(java.io.File dir)

Retrieves the first plugin descriptor it finds in the given directory. The search is not recursive.

Parameters:

dir - The directory to search in.

Returns:

The location of the plugin descriptor, or null if none can be found.
