Parameters
folder input folder to be processed

Public Methods

public boolean process ()

The default implementation calls processInternal(), and makes sure that a status string is set on error, or nullified on success. processInternal() is never called is isProcessed() returns true.

Plugins may decide to override this method, if they need finer control over processing (we recommend overriding processInternal(); in that case, processInternal() should be ignored.

Returns
  • true if processing is or was successful (in the latter case, process() should do nothing but return true), or false is processing failed. The unit should also notify clients by issuing a UnitProcessed event. If processing succeeded, subsequent calls to isProcessed() should return true.
