-- Namespace adaption --
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each Plasma plugin has a unique identifier, which is also used to find related
|
|
|
|
resources (like the translation catalogs).
|
|
|
|
To avoid naming collisions, Plasma plugins use a reverse domain name notation
|
|
|
|
for that identifier:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* org.kde.plasma.* - plugins coming from Plasma modules
|
|
|
|
* org.kde.* - plugins coming from other software from KDE
|
|
|
|
* $(my.domain).* - plugins of your 3rd-party
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The generated code uses the "org.kde.plasma" namespace for the plugin identifier.
|
|
|
|
As this namespace is reserved for use by plugins part of Plasma modules, you will
|
|
|
|
need to adapt this namespace if you are writing a plugin which is not intended to
|
|
|
|
end up in the Plasma modules.
