Create plugin

For every plugin jar file the following conditions must be met:

• The jar file has to contain a class which extends the Plugin class.
• The jar manifest file has to contain qualified location of the plugin class prefixed by "pluginMainClass: ", e.g.:

pluginMainClass: mypackage.MyPlugin.

Build simple plugin

Consider a trivial plugin program:

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");
    }

}

And a manifest file META-INF\MANIFEST.MF:

pluginMainClass: SimplePlugin
Manifest-Version: 1.0

Download the latest JForex-API version from the public repository and make the following file structure:

C:\TEMP\PLUGINS
|   JForex-API-2.9.2.jar
|   SimplePlugin.java
|
----META-INF
        MANIFEST.MF

Compile the plugin with the following command:

javac -source 7 -target 7 SimplePlugin.java -cp JForex-API-2.12.41.jar

Archive the compiled SimplePlugin.class file together with the META-INF folder to a jar file created using the zip compressing format. Consider using the 7-zip to do this:

Using JForex-SDK examples

In order to create a plugin go through the following steps:

1. Import the JForex-SDK project either by using Eclipse, Intellij IDEA or NetBeans.
2. Open command line and navigate to the JForex-SDK project folder root, then build the OrderTable.jar with the following command.

   mvn assembly:assembly -P order-table

Attaching plugin

One can either create his own plugins or download them from the JStore. Consider attaching and activating a plugin:

1. Attach and activate plugin:

   

2. Deselect "Allow auto trading" if you wish to prohibit the plugin to make any order changes. Select "Activate plugin on platform startup" if you wish the plugin to auto-start.
