This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Repository: kcoreaddons


Description
-------

- Add new class KPluginMetaData

This class simplifies reading the metadata from a qt plugin by providing
type-safe accessor functions for known keys. It is meant as a
replacment for KPluginInfo for applications that do not need all the
features provided by KService.

- Add functions for loading all plugins from a given directory

KPluginLoader::findPlugins() can generally be used as a replacement for
KServiceTypeTrader::self()->query("...").

- Adapt jsonplugin metadata to the format used by KPluginMetaData

- Add a unit test for KPluginLoader::instantiatePlugins()

- Add a unit test for KPluginMetaData

- Improve KPluginLoader unit test

This adds a test for KPluginLoader::forEachPlugin() and also adds a
test using a relative path for KPluginLoader::instantiatePlugins()
