Property Definitions in a Task
Properties defined within a task supersede properties specified in a properties file. Tasks with these defined properties are sometimes referred to as “self-describing” tasks.
Since Info*Engine tasks are not Java properties files, the properties must be specified in a different manner:
• Properties within Info*Engine tasks must be specified inside of a special comment section that begins with the com.infoengine.delegate.def identifier. This identifier informs the Package Manager and installation tools that properties are specified.
• Each property definition must be preceded by an at symbol (@). Any lines in the comment section that do not begin with @ are registered as a comment and used in the description of an installed delegate.
• The property name and value must be separated by a single space. The following is an example of a self-describing task comment section:
<!--com.infoengine.delegate.def
this is the delegate description
@delegateName get-name
-->
