Plugin Directory Manager

Description

The plugin directory manager installs or removes directories containing well-formed MAT plugins, or lists the registered plugins. A well-formed MAT plugin contains either a task.xml file or a demo.xml file, as described in the documentation on creating a new task or creating a new demo.

Usage

Unix:

% $MAT_PKG_HOME/bin/MATManagePluginDirs

Windows native:

> %MAT_PKG_HOME%\bin\MATManagePluginDirs.cmd

Usage: MATManagePluginDirs [ install | remove ] app_dir ...
MATManagePluginDirs list
