Re: [platform-update-dev] custom InstallHandler: does it install the plu

[klicnik@xxxxxxxxxx]

The install handler is called as part of the regular installation process (so plugins are downloaded, verified, installed, non-plugins are downloaded, your handler has a chance to do verification, your handler has a chance to do whatever you need to do to the non-plugin files). So you should subclass BaseInstallHandler and override any of the methods you need. See the javadoc on IInstallHandler for description of when the install handler methods are called and what they should do.

For my custom install handler, I want the base functionality to occur, and then unpack my non-plugin jars.  IOW, I want plugins installed, the non-plugin files downloaded, any monitors to run, etc. etc.  I assume I can do this by just subclassing BaseInstallHandler and overriding completeInstall().  I'll super call completeInstall().   

Is this correct, or is BaseInstallHandler just a really dumb install handler, and what I really need to subclass is some other default install handler?
