Plugins are tightly integrated into jGnash, and once loaded, behave as if they are a standard part of the application. Plugins are coded in Java using a jGnash specific API as the entry point so they may be loaded into jGnash.
Plugins are packaged into JAR
files and are
located within the plugins
directory located in the
directory jGnash is installed. Installation of a Plugin is as simple as
placing the supplied JAR file into the plugins
directory and restarting jGnash.
The jGnash JavaDoc may be referenced if you are interested in creating a jGnash Plugin, and the MT940 import is written as a standard Plugin and may be referenced as an example of how to write one.
