One time plugin

If you want to build a one time plugin that deactivates the plugin when something is done, you can use setOneTimePlugin(true); method on plugin's constructor as like below:

Plugin.java

public Plugin() throws Exception {
    super("whatever you want");
    
    setOneTimePlugin(true);
}

The plugin will have deactivated state as a default state. and if user clicks the toggle button to activate the plugin then pluginActivated() method will be called. you can just code something within the pluginActivated() method.

warning

Don't forget the requestDeactivate(); method. this method will make your plugin to back to deactivated state.

Here is an example source code:

Plugin.java

import org.silentsoft.actlist.plugin.ActlistPlugin;

public class Plugin extends ActlistPlugin {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        debug();
    }

    public Plugin() throws Exception {
        super("whatever you want");
        
        setOneTimePlugin(true);
    }

    @Override
    protected void initialize() throws Exception { }

    @Override
    public void pluginActivated() throws Exception {
        try {
            /*
             * do something here
             */
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // exception handling
        } finally {
            requestDeactivate();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void pluginDeactivated() throws Exception { }

}
