Hello API Support team,

Please, add Plugins to JForex platform CLASSPATH.
If I have plugin:

import com.dukascopy.api.IConsole;
import com.dukascopy.api.JFException;
import com.dukascopy.api.plugins.IPluginContext;
import com.dukascopy.api.plugins.Plugin;

public class SimplePlugin extends Plugin {    
   
    private IConsole console;
   
    @Override
    public void onStart(IPluginContext context) throws JFException {
        console = context.getConsole();
        console.getOut().println("Plugin started");
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() throws JFException {
        console.getOut().println("Plugin stopped");
    }

    public static boolean isTest() {
        return true;
    }

}

I would like to use plugins in strategy

import SimplePlugin;

public class Strategy implements IStrategy {
    public void onStart(IContext context) throws JFException {
        boolean b = SimplePlugin.isTest();
    }
}

Thank you

Plugin is a jar file. Simply import that jar as a library, see:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Include_libraries

I know about it and think it is not acceptable.
It is far more convenient to register external library as plugin.

For example, I have 100 strategies which sending emails and in each strategy it is needed to write code as mentioned here https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Send_e-mail.
But if the code above will be written in plugin, then in strategy it is needed to write only

MailPlugin.sendMail("subject", "text");

Can you implement this in JForex platform?

And with our suggested approach you would add an @Library annotation and an import declaration and do the same. What is so inconvenient about this?

Approach I suggested is more native extension of JForex API. @Library annotation, I think, is work around in extending API..
I think it would be better to set up default "Recipient mail", "Sender mail" and "SMTP host" in plugin settings page (in one place).
I am not sure if @Library annotation support jfx extension..
Another advantage is less code in strategy.
If I will use in strategy a lot of libraries - annotation will look ugly and not readable.
And plugin easier to distribute.

Email sender is just simple example. Please, imaging more complex extensions.

Thank you.

Packaging to jfx file for plugins is optional - you can use them as jar files.
If that is an issue, you can package all your libraries into a single jar file archive.

Actually, I would like to use jfx file.


Too much manual work, instead of installing plugin from JStore and use it in strategy.
