CMS Extension SDK

This page will help you solve problems related to CMS Extension SDK. 

CMS Extension SDK, is a new way to extend CAST AIP analysis capacities by developing Python plugins.
Basically, extendable analyzers (such as dotnet, jee, universal analyzer) calls plugin methods each time a new file/class/xml files is-to-be/has-been processed. Plugin can then access analysis information to do the folowing:

1. Create objects
2. Draw links
3. Add properties
