    IPlatformConfiguration
    public static interface IPlatformConfiguration.IFeatureEntry
    Feature entry. Represents runtime "hints" about configured features. The information is used during execution to locate the correct attribution information for a feature. Note, that a typical configuration can declare multiple feature entries. At execution time, only one can be selected as the active primary feature. This is determined based on specified command line arguments or computed defaults.

      • getFeaturePluginIdentifier

        String getFeaturePluginIdentifier()
        Returns the identifier of the feature plug-in for this feature entry.

Also, if supplied, there is no guarantee that the plugin will in fact be loaded into the plug-in registry at runtime (due to rules and constraint checking performed by the registry loading support). Consequently code making use of this method must handle these conditions.
