Saving a palette on the file system can be
done through the palette manager. The palette manager first saves
the palette hierarchy in a working directory and then packages the
working directory into a .jar file.
To save a palette:
-
Specify the working directory:
myIlvPaletteManager.setWorkingDirectory(new File("/tmp")); -
Save the palette in the current directory:
myIlvPaletteManager.save(palette, new File("myPalette.jar"));
When a palette is saved, symbol resources, such as images which
were imported from outside the palette .jar file are copied into
it. Links to these resources are updated accordingly. Therefore,
the resulting file
myPalette.jar
is self-contained, that is, it does no longer contain any
reference to external files.
