Class Providers

java.lang.Object

de.intarsys.tools.provider.Providers

public class Providers
extends Object

This is an alternative service- or provider loading tool.

The standard ServiceLoader architecture is quite unfriendly to reflective access and is even more unfriendly to a lightweight generic build&deployment procedure.

This implementation uses a single file "META-INF/provider/provider.list" to enumerate service/implementation pairs. Each service is listed on a line of its own. The service is followed by a ";", then followed by the implementation class. Empty lines are ignored.
