Writing Agents & Plugins

A module is some functionality that is added to FOSSology. Adding a module to fossology can be done with either a plugin or an agent. To get started extending FOSSology, let's go through a series of working examples:

1. A demo module was written for 2.4.0. Look in the source tarball at fossology/src/demomod. This is a simple module that demonstrates how to write for the UI and background agent. It can be used as a template for any new agents.

2. A simple example: Hello World UI plugin

3. The basic UI plugin template: FO-plugin

4. A progressive agent tutorial - Based upon 2.2.0 release.
