Platform (SciJava Common 2.100.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Disposable, SciJavaPlugin, SingletonPlugin

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPlatform, DefaultPlatform
```
public interface Platform
extends SingletonPlugin, Disposable
```
An interface for configuring a specific deployment platform, defined by criteria such as operating system, machine architecture or Java version.
Platforms discoverable at runtime must implement this interface and be annotated with @Plugin with attribute Plugin.type() = Platform.class. While it possible to create a platform merely by implementing this interface, it is encouraged to instead extend AbstractPlatform, for convenience.

  - registerAppMenus
```
default boolean registerAppMenus(Object menus)

    Informs the platform of a UI's newly created application menu structure. The platform may choose to do something platform-specific with the menus.
    
    Parameters:

    Returns:
    
    true iff the menus should not be added to the UI as normal because the platform did something platform-specific with them instead.
