Dependency Injection for Plugins

If you want to share a single instance of a certain class between plugin extensions and custom operations (to prevent instances from being repeated), you can declare a <context> element in your plugin.xml file:

<context class="my.package.ContextClass"/>

This will result in an instance being automatically generated. You can access this instance in an extension class by defining a field of that type and annotated with the ro.sync.exml.plugin.PluginContext annotation:

@PluginContext
ContextClass contextInstance;
