  org.rhq.enterprise.server.plugin.pc.perspective.metadata.PerspectivePluginMetadataManager

public class PerspectivePluginMetadataManager
extends java.lang.Object

This loads in all deployed perspective server plugins and maintains the complete set of metadata found in all plugin descriptors. Individual plugin metadata is irrelevant and not retrievable. The union of the perspective definitions is maintained and made available. Conflict resolution rules are applied as needed for clashing perspective definitions. Activators are not processed here, they use session-time information. This is performed at plugin-load-time.
