The sample code is to implement an annotation operation, so in the Activator.java it registers service for Alignment, Annotation and ProbeSet
{code:title=Activator.java|borderStyle=solid}
@Override
protected ServiceRegistration<?>\[\] registerService(IGBService igbService) throws Exception {
return new ServiceRegistration\[\] {
bundleContext.registerService(Operator.class, new SamplePlugin(FileTypeCategory.Alignment), null),
bundleContext.registerService(Operator.class, new SamplePlugin(FileTypeCategory.Annotation), null),
bundleContext.registerService(Operator.class, new SamplePlugin(FileTypeCategory.ProbeSet), null)
};
{code}
&nbsp; &nbsp; } @Override protected ServiceRegistration<?>\[\] registerService(IGBService igbService) throws Exception { return new ServiceRegistration\[\] { bundleContext.registerService(Operator.class, new SamplePlugin(FileTypeCategory.Alignment), null), bundleContext.registerService(Operator.class, new SamplePlugin(FileTypeCategory.Annotation), null), bundleContext.registerService(Operator.class, new SamplePlugin(FileTypeCategory.ProbeSet), null) };
