[edit] Description

Using this extension point plug-in can provide access to particular Java objects (host objects) provided by plug-in. Plug-in host oblects will be shown in 'Analyses/JavaScript/host objects' section in repository tree. Host object description (help) will be shown in View/Edit tab when the host object item will be selected in repository tree.

[edit] Host objects for analyses

There is a special lightweight family of host objects specially designed for analysis methods. These host objects must subclass JavaScriptAnalysisHost class and have @PropertyName and @PropertyDescription annotations:

import ru.biosoft.analysis.javascript.JavaScriptAnalysisHost;
import ru.biosoft.util.bean.PropertyDescription;
import ru.biosoft.util.bean.PropertyName;

@PropertyName("siteAnalysis")
@PropertyDescription("Analyses related to sites, sequences and tracks")
public class JavaScriptSiteAnalysis extends JavaScriptAnalysisHost
{
}

You don't have to create any methods in this class. Registration of such host object can be done without javadoc part:

<extension id="siteAnalysis" point="ru.biosoft.plugins.javascript.hostObject"> 
  <hostObject name="siteAnalysis" class="ru.biosoft.bsa.analysis.JavaScriptSiteAnalysis" >
  </hostObject>
</extension>

After that this host object is ready for methods. If you create any analysis method, you can add js="siteAnalysis.methodName" when registering the method and method methodName will be generated automatically in host object siteAnalysis along with documentation.
