         Extension point for registering global install handlers. Global
install handlers can be referenced by features 
(using the <code>&lt;feature&gt; &lt;install-handler&gt;</code>
tags) without having to include a copy of the handler code as
part of the downloadable feature.
      
   

   
      
         
            
         
         
            
               
                  must be specified as <b>org.eclipse.update.core.installHandlers</b>
               
            
         
         
            
               
                  must be specified. Identifies the new install handler
               
            
         
         
            
               
                  optional displayable label for the new install handler
               
               
                  
               
            
         
      
   

   
      
         
            
               
                  fully qualified name of the handler implementation class for the identified
install handler
               
            
         
      
   

   
      
         
      
      
         The following is an example of new global install handler registration:
<p>
<pre>
   <extension
        id="custom"
        point="org.eclipse.update.core.installHandlers"
        name="Custom install handler">
     <install-handler
        class="com.xyz.update.CustomInstallHandler">
     </install-handler>
   </extension>
</pre>
</p>
      
   

   
      
         
      
      
         Registered install handler classes must implement 
<code>org.eclipse.update.core.IInstallHandler</code> interface.
Implementers should extend base class <code>org.eclipse.update.core.BaseInstallHandler</code>.
      
   

   
      
         
      
      
         The platform supplies a simple install handler that is registered as <code>org.eclipse.update.core.DefaultInstallHandler</code>. If used, it will copy any non-plug-in data entries provided with the feature into the feature installation directory.
