Application of Adapter pattern in Eclipse plug-in development

Abstract

The Adapter design pattern is widely used in software development. It can transform the interface of one class into another desired by the client, so that two classes that cannot work together because of interface mismatch can work together[1]. It is the core of the extensibility of the Eclipse platform. It is especially important in Eclipse, and it is necessary for anyone who is working on or preparing for Eclipse plug-in development to master it. It is a necessary condition for becoming a good developer. Compared with the traditional Adapter mode, there are some differences in the use of Adapter mode in Eclipse. From the perspective of Eclipse plug-in development, this paper firstly introduces the traditional Adapter mode, and then introduces the Adapter mode in Eclipse plug-in. And through the example let the reader have a deeper understanding.
