Operation Extension
Identifier:
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.OperationExtension
Since:
This extension point is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
Description:
This is the methodology for extending an existing operation by adding either a pre operation to be executed prior, or a post operation to be executed after the original operation.
