Factory of extensions. It allows to dynamically create extensions depending upon runtime context. One use-case is to create one rule repository by language.

Notes :

• the provider is declared in Plugin.getExtensions()
• the provider must also add annotation ServerSide, ComputeEngineSide and/or BatchSide
• the provider can accept dependencies (parameters) in its constructors.
• the method provide() is executed once by the platform
• the method provide() must return an object, a class or an Iterable of objects. Arrays are excluded.

Example:

 
 {@literal @}ServerSide
 public class RuleRepositoryProvider extends ExtensionProvider {
   private Language[] languages;

   public RuleRepositoryProvider(Language[] languages) {
     this.languages = languages;
   }

   public List<RuleRepository> provide() {
     List<RuleRepository> result = new ArrayList<RuleRepository>();
     for(Language language: languages) {
       result.add(new RuleRepository(..., language, ...));
     }
     return result;
   }
 }
