View source for DSDP/MTJ/Discussion/New APIs/version 1.0/automatic SDK install

This API idea is to provide a mechanism to automatically register new SDKs devices once MTJ is started. The main user of this API are SDK Providers that wants to distribute a plugins that will automatically imports its SDKs. This avoid the need to the user to manually go to "Preverences->JavaME->Device Management" and import the device from the UI.

This API devices a extension point with the following format:
*'''extension'''
** <font color="green"><b>name</b></font> (String Attribute) <font color="#960018"><b>[OPTIONAL]</b></font><p>Description: Optional name of this extension</p>
** <font color="green"><b>sequence [1;1]</b></font> (installer) <font color="#960018"><b>[REQUIRED]</b></font><p>Description: Sequence of 1..1 that represents the installer</p>

*'''installer'''
** <font color="green"><b>name</b></font> (Java Attribute) <font color="#960018"><b>[REQUIRED]</b></font><p>Description: implements org.eclipse.mtj.core.sdk.ISDK.</p>

The ISDK interface is simple. it only provides 3 methods that need to be implemented by the SDK Provider:
* <font color="green"><b>String getDescription()</b></font>: Returns the textual description of this SDK
* <font color="green"><b>String getName()</b></font>: Returns the SDK name that is also presented on the Devices
* <font color="green"><b>List<IDevice> getDeviceList()</b></font>: Returns a list of IDevices

Each SDK provider is responsible to know where its SDK is installed. This is necessary in order to create the Devices.
