How IDE knows which third-party plug-in to invoke at run time?

I always wonder how Java IDE loads 3rd party plug-ins to the IDE's menu bar??
IDE should have a menu item that associates with each 3rd party plug-ins, so
that programmers can choose whatever plug-in they prefer easily.
In the plug-in JAR file, it should have a configuration that indicates the name
of this plug-in, so that Java IDE can create a menu item with this name.
Before IDE starts, IDE application should do the following things at run time.
If the following tasks are done at compile time, it is very easy to code. But
when it is done at run time, then I have problems to figure it out #2.
1) loads the plug-in JAR file and create a menu item in IDE menu bar.
2) add action listener to the menu item. When programmers click
the menu item, Java IDE can identify which plug-in to invoke.
Please advise!

Try looking at the source code for the opensource project jEdit. The do a good job of managing plugins.

How do I find third party plug-ins? (illustrator CS6)

I have trouble opening Illustrator.
I tried to update my computer (to OS X Mavericks 10.9.5) but i didn't help and i couldn't update Illustrator because of an error.
I saw on this side, that removing third party plug-ins, could work... The only problem is, i don't know which ones are third party and which are not.
I found a list of third party plug-ins, on this side as well, but none of them was in any of the folders with Illustrator plug-in on my computer.
Does anybody know how theese third party plug-ins, or another way to solve my problem?

Okay thank you, I was just trying to avoid to reinstall. I bought my computer through my school and all the adobe programs was already installed, so and can find the "install-file" on my computer.
But thank you, I think I will contact my school then

How do I add third party plug-in to Acrobat Pro XI and add things to the main menu bar.

Running Acrobat Pro XI, (CC suite) on MacPro OSX 10.8
Main Menu Bar only shows 'Acrobat File Edit View Window Help'.
No Third Party Plug-ins are shown under 'Acrobat' on the Menu Bar
Acrobat Pro 9 (also installed) shows the Third Party Plug-ins and a lot of other options on the Menu Bar
How do I get Pro XI to look like Pro 9

You'll have to install PitStop again and point it at the new Acrobat when it asks you, or you can open the Acrobat 9 package and copy PitStop from the plugins folder into the same folder in Acrobat XI.
You didn't mention which version of PitStop you have so you'll need to check the system requirements to make sure you are compatible.
http://www.enfocus.com/en/support/knowledge-base/pitstop-pro-system-requirements?q=system+ requirements
Also be aware of the interface change between Acrobat 9 and XI, you no longer have all the tool bars available on the top, you now have tools in a column on the right.
But you can drag tool icons up to the top and make sets as well.
You can get information on the differences within PitStop here.

I was using Diptic with iphotos just fine until I was asked by iphoto to install a update. Afterward I could no longer see my diptic files when trying to load pics another another site. Please tell me how to reinstall the third party diptic to my iphoto ty

As a general rule it's up to the plug-in maker to update their plug-in when the app is updated. So you will need to contact them for support.

Using third party plug-ins

Hi.
How do I use third party plug-ins. I've just installed SSL LMC-1 component, but i can't find in the insert pop-up menu on the Logic channel strip.

Hi,
I had that plugin,but it no longer shows up under Logic 7.2.3,which is what I'm running now.So I do not use it anyomer,at least until it is updated.
Although a cool plugin,you might want to try either the Free Fish Fillets,which sound better to me,or another pay plugin like the Nomad Factory BT Compressor FA770 which is like the Fairchild,very close in fact.
Cheers

Third party plug ins-anyone know how to use?

hello all
i just bought garritan personal orchestral and want to use it with logic express. has anyone had experience with using third party plug ins in logic. ive tried moving folders and files around but i cant get logic to recognise the programme. i used to use traktion as software which had a search system for locationg plug-ins but logic seems to have no such feature.
any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

It sounds like you have a PPC version of Kontakt Player. This works as standalone but not in Logic.
Run Logic AU manager to see if it is recognised.
Remember in all these issues, and setting up the pi in Logic, you are Looking for Kontakt Plaer 2, not Garritan Personal Orchestra.
If not you need to update Kontakt Player. This is a Native Instruments Application and can be updated either by
1. Running Service Centre if it installed when you installed Garitan. It is a separate Application.
2. Go to NI web site http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=updates_us&flash=7 and update there.
The current version of Kontakt Player 2 is 2.2.1.010

How can I add my software in Adobe's Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro ?

Hi,
Our company have a software called Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere.
Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere is a recommended FLV, MPG, RMVB, HD video import plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro. This plug-in enables users to import FLV videos with various codec like AVC/H.264, AAC, Screen Video, Nellymoser, MP3, PCM, and Sorenson H.263. Besides FLV video, the plug-in allows AVCHD import and HD video import in MTS, M2TS, TP, TS, and MKV formats.
Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere do not convert your video so it keeps video quality for you. The plug-in automatically detects the Adobe Premiere versions on your machine and you can choose the versions to install the plug-in. It currently supports Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0/1.5/2.0/CS3/CS4 and Elements 3.0/4.0/7.0/8.0.
I notice in Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro this part, Adobe didn't get any such plug-ins. They only have two file support plug-ins and Moyea Importer can fill the blank.
Now I want to submit this software on Adobe's site but I don't know where to submit or who I should to contact. Any suggestions? I really need your help and I am sure it is really good software.

How to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?

how to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?
Thank you.

Hi ,
Your windows is 32 bit or 64 bit .
If win 7 32 bit
Just copy the plugin from PSE 11 and paste it to PSE 13 plug-in folder.
If win 7 64
PSE 11 and PSE 13 are installed as a 32 and 64 bit respectively , so you need to install plug-in again.
Thanks,

Third Party Plug Ins & RAM

Hi Guys
My MBP is about a year old now with 2GB RAM and 2.4 GHZ processor.
Until recently I have been running Logic very nicely for my needs, generally 15-20 audio or software instruments tracks with overloading a rather rare occurance. This is with pretty much zero third party plug-ins.
Recently however I purchased EWQLSO silver play edition and have found overloading to be occuring to a quite undesirable degree (with maybe only 3-4 EW instances). Firstly can I clarify that this is simply down to the fact that EW is very CPU hungry? This overloading seems a little extreme, but my sytem is otherwise ok.
As such I am considering upgrading to 4GB RAM and I was wondering will this be worth it and improve my situation here?
I also notice that memory from Apple is rather expensive and is available cheaper elsewhere...is it safe for me to change the memory myself (I don't really trust myself a friend upgraded his RAM manually from a cheap website and encountered one or two problems)?...Also will an upgrade to just 3GB be beneficial at all...I have read that it is better for the RAM in each slot to be identical?
Any other general advise I would very much appreciate.:)
Sam

So far, no one has mentioned "multitimbral" in this thread. I don't know if your third-party software instruments are multitimbral, but if they are, this may even solve your entire problem all by itself. (If your soft instruments are NOT multitimbral, then this won't help at all.)
I also recommend MAXING out your ram, which is ALWAYS a good idea.
IF your instrument has multitimbral capability (Kontakt Player 2, SampleTank, and many others do), then you'll need to read all about it in their manuals, as each one uses a different method of set-up for Logic. Logic plays multitimbral instruments quite nicely.
Basically, this method allows you to use the multitimbral software instrument only ONCE, for up to 16 separate instrument tracks, thereby saving a lot of ram, since the instrument itself takes up so much ram. To do this, you'll need to create your software instrument track(s) as multitimbral in Logic when you create the tracks, then within the individual software instrument itself, you'll have to assign ascending midi channels to ascending pairs of outputs. In other words, midi channel 1 will be assigned to outputs 1-2, midi channel 2 will be assigned to outputs 3-4, etc., all the way through outputs 31-32 assigned to midi channel 16.
Setting this up takes some time, so when you're done, save it as a TEMPLATE in Logic.
Then to MIX each channel separately, you'll need to create a special AUX channel for each track. In Logic, this means you'll have TWO tracks for each instrument: one for the midi data, and one for mixing, effects, etc. But it saves a TON of ram over using a software instrument instance for each track.
I'll search for an earlier thread in this forum, if it still exists, for more details on how to do this, and post the link here if I find it.

A third party plug-in disappears after a localization patch installation

I have a third party plug-in installed for PhotoShop CS3.
The third party plug-in disappears after installation of a localization
patch. I tried reinstalling the plug-in, but that does not work.
It appears that after the patch is installed, tw10428.dat maps
the English texts on the menu to Korean.
"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPhotoshop=Photoshop 정보(&A)..."
"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPlugin=플러그-인 정보(&B)"
"$$$/Menu/Help/Contents=Photoshop 도움말(&H)..."
"$$$/Menu/Help/Home=Photoshop 온라인(&O)..."
And somehow, the third party plug-in disappears because it's not mapped
in the .dat file. I tried manually editing the file and to input
entries for the third party tool and that does not seem to work.
Do you know how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Chris,
How can I install it correctly? It is
The plug-in was working fine before the patch. The patch
is just an executable which I ran after I closed Photoshop.
There wasn't any error message and the instance of Photoshop
works fine when I re-run it other than the fact that the plug-in
is no longer in the menu.

Controling third party plug-ins

How can I use controllers +in mainstage 2+ to control third-party plug-ins like omnisphere and reaktor 5? I know I can MIDI-map directly to these plug-ins, but then every time I change preset within the plug-in, all the MIDI-mappings are gone. So basicly, I`m looking for a way to keep my MIDI-mappings through preset-changes withing plug-ins. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi, I was kinda curious about this and decided to d/load the Reaktor 5 demo and tried it out. No problem mapping screen controls from Mainstage to R5 knobs or sliders and it remembered all the connections between each patch just fine.
I didn't do anything special just the usual click the Mainstage control then mapped the parameter to a control in Reaktor 5 and it worked fine even with the R5 demo. Maybe you can provide a little more detail on how you tried to configure?

Third party plug in problem?

I am using IMac 10.6 and have just upgraded from CS4 to CS5. I have been using Nik Complete Collection plug-ins. Where as in CS4 I could select the Nik plug-in under the Photo Shop Filter tool bar, in CS5 it is not showing. Also they do not show up under the Photoshop pull-down "About plug-ins". Supposedly the Nik software is compatible with CS5.
I have reloaded the Nik software. I am still seeing it under the CS4 program. I also have a couple of other third-party plug-in that do not show up.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Running Photoshop CS5 as a 64-bit application (odds are it is). Older plug-ins need to be updated to 64-bit capable version to run in Photoshop CS5 when CS5 is launched as a 64-bit application. Until you get updated plug-ins locate the CS5 folder and select Photoshop CS5 and do a Command I (that's i) and choose to launch as a 32-bit application–the plug-ins should now be available (although you are limited to running CS5 as a 32-bit app which will be able to use much less ram and will run slower).

How do you install 3rd party plug-in in Photoshop CC

Our fine customer service/tech support wouldn't help me with my question/problem because 3rd party plug-ins are not an Adobe product.... Silly, isn't it since all I want to know is how do you install "any" plug-ins into Adobe Photoshop CC. Can anyone with any sanity here offer a solution?
Thanks.

It could be complex depending on your OS and user ID permissions. Adobe Photoshop CC Mac version only supports new Mac with Intel 64bit processors, Photoshop CC windows supports both 64 bit systems and 32 bit systems. If you have a 64 bit system both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of Photoshop are installed so windows has both a 32 bit Plug-in Folder and a 64 Bit Plug-in Folder. Prior to CC Photoshop Preference let you add you own Plug-in folder tree to Photoshop Plug-in folder tree. I still install Plug-in that way however I have to add the link manually for adobe removed that option from its Preferences UI in Photoshop CC. I always have more the one versions of Photoshop and all installed versions use the same Plug-in, Actions and Scripts that I add to Photoshop. There is One exception. The Way the Image Processor Pro plug-in script is coded expects it and it default XML file to be installed into Adobe's folder so I made and exception for it. You user ID need to have permission to modify and add files to system folders if you want to install plug-ins into the folders that Adobe created for third party plug-ins to be installed into.
Adobe Photoshop CC installer creates a folder in Photoshop version ...\Plug-ins\... so on my Window 7 64 bit system there are two folders
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\" and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins\"
All I add to these are the Adobe ScriptListener.8li Plug-in and a link to my Plug-ins folder.
