ProjectLibrariesAPI The Project Libraries API permits definitions of libraries to be registered and persisted. Library type providers may be registered and can construct memory objects corresponding to persistent library definitions.

What is New (see all changes)?

Dec 22 '04 Switched to major release version 1

To indicate that this is now considered a stable API, the major release version was incremented to 1 from 0.

Use Cases

Different technology support modules will supply definitions of different kinds of libraries, e.g. Java JARs, that may be reused in user projects. Modules may register library predefinitions to wrap libraries they bundle. Project type providers can refer to available libraries in customizer dialogs.
