If you create a new version of an existing extension that has new GUI options, you can use a version updater to transfer or set values to new fields that have been added. To configure this updating, you need to implement the IVersionUpdater and include the <version> element in parasoft-extension.xml.
...
- id - An integer version that specifies the current version of the extension. This version will get saved in any Parasoft artifacts that store the field values. The saved version saved in the Parasoft artifacts is what will get passed to the class that implements
IVersionUpdater. - updaterClass - Holds the fully qualified name of the class which implements
IVersionUpdater.
The field id ID values under the section elements are used as keys to retrieve values from the ICustomXMLConverterConfiguration object that is passed to the conversion methods. This allows for the user-provided values to be passed into your implementation.
