A Module Manager automatically discovers the plugins and weaves them together.
A module manager is the central component of the IDE that is responsible for this behavior.
He says it's making "all the standard apps" itself — such as "Calendar, Alarm, Clock, Reminders, Notes, Voice Memos, Activity Tracking, Battery Monitor, Module Manager, Notification Bar, etc".
The assets and behaviours are then created with the required data by the Module Manager who instantiates and parameterises the asset and behaviour factories.
Although the overall functionality of a module manager in a given IDE is fixed, its actual behavior strongly depends on the programming languages it has to support.
This chapter proposes a runtime system, the Dynamic Module Manager (DMM), that controls the overall execution of the applications in network processors.
However, if the assets are defined in independently developed factories, there is a need to mention the order in which the assets need to be created, and consequently the order in which the factories are being called, which can be automatically ordered by the Module Manager.
The MODAM framework enforces the separation of assets and behaviours, and combines this key idea with several other techniques (data providers, factories, interfaces, channels (runtime data attributes), use of reflection by a module manager) to fully support the dynamic composition of agents.
Finally, we generated a modular view of all the individual modules, using the Module Manager functions.
The client is designed in a modular way (Modules and Module Manager) using the OSGi technology as basis.
The core functions of BiNoM can be grouped in five different topics: Input/Output, Structural Analysis, BioPAX utils & query, Module manager and Utilities.
