Class WellKnownUnitTypes

java.lang.Object
com.pnfsoftware.jeb.core.units.WellKnownUnitTypes
public class WellKnownUnitTypes extends Object
Well-known binary types for unit identifiers. Plugin writers may use one of those types, as they see fit. They are in no way limited to those types; those types are solely provided for convenience.

When writing plugins for one of the following type, it is recommended to use the associated type string. They provide several advantages, both visual and functional:

  • clients (such as the official RCP client) are aware of those types and may provide icon labels automatically, freeing developers from implementing getIconData.
  • during delegation, other plugins may expect a given input type
  • during processing, plugins may want to produce units with a given, forced well-known type
  • engines plugins may want to look for units with a specific type

Types starting with the prefix pfxTypeDecompiler should be treated as decompilers by front-end clients.

Types starting with the prefix pfxTypeDebugger should be treated as debuggers by front-end clients.
