A property tester can be used to add additional properties to test to an existing type.
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. Clients
should subclass type PropertyTester.
| Method Summary | |
|---|---|
boolean |
handles(String namespace,
String property)
Returns whether the property tester can handle the given property or not. |
IPropertyTester |
instantiate()

boolean |
isDeclaringPluginActive()
Returns true if the implementation class of this property
tester can be loaded. |
boolean |
isInstantiated()
Returns whether the implementation class for this property tester is loaded or not. |

of type java.lang.String or a boxed base type. If no value was
