Register a plugin-in with IBM MQ Explorer
How to use the register extension point to register a plugin-in with IBM® MQ Explorer and enable notify events.
The register extension point is used for the following:
- To allow your plug-in to register itself with the IBM MQ Explorer. Every plug-in for the IBM MQ Explorer must include this extension point in plugin.xml. With out it, any function your plug-in adds to the IBM MQ Explorer will not be activated.
- To enable notify events.
The following code extract is taken from the file, plugin.xml, from the
simple plug-in and shows a basic implementation of the register extension point:
<extension

name="Simple Sample"
point="com.ibm.mq.explorer.ui.registerplugin">
<pluginDetails
pluginId="com.ibm.mq.explorer.sample.simple"
name="Simple"
class="com.ibm.mq.explorer.sample.simple.SimpleNotify"
enabledByDefault="true"
