Package org.eclipse.emf.compare.merge

Interface IMerger.Registry

All Known Subinterfaces:
IMerger.Registry2
All Known Implementing Classes:
IMerger.RegistryImpl
Enclosing interface:
IMerger
public static interface IMerger.Registry
This will hold all registered mergers. Mergers can be registered manually in the registry, but they are usually registered through the "org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.mergerExtension" extension point.

An instance of the registry is usually accessed through "EMFCompareIDEPlugin.getDefault().getMergerRegistry()". However, if you need an instance of the registry in a standalone environment, you should use "IMerger.RegistryImpl.createStandaloneInstance()" so that the default registrations are taken care of.
