| == Which Way Should I Use To Register an Object in the Default Lookup? |
| |
| There are two ways to put something in the link:DevFaqLookupDefault.asciidoc[default Lookup]: |
| |
| |=== |
| |What |When to Use It |How |
| |
| |Use the `@ServiceProvider` annotation |Most of the time, unless you are building with Maven. This annotation relies on NetBeans' build infrastructure to generate flat files in `META-INF/services` described below, at compile time. |Annotate your file with `@ServiceProvider(service=Something.class)` |
| |
| |Put an `.instance` file in your module layer in `Services/Hidden` |Rarely - useful if you are making services available dynamically on the fly, for example when link:DevFaqDynamicSystemFilesystem.asciidoc[dynamically changing layer contents], or when link:DevFaqFileAttributes.asciidoc[specialized registration metadata] or factory methods are needed |Declare a link:DevFaqInstanceDataObject.asciidoc[.instance file], a link:DevFaqDotSettingsFiles.asciidoc[.settings file] or similar, or a link:DevFaqDotShadowFiles.asciidoc[.shadow file] in your module's link:DevFaqModulesLayerFile.asciidoc[layer.xml file] |
