Identifier:

com.ibm.xtools.mmi.core.SourceSynchronizationProviders

Since:

This extension point is new to Version 7.0.

Description:

This extension point allows plug-ins and fragments to register objects with the SourceSynchronizationService that know how to synchronize source element given information about changes to the Mapped Target Model. Objects using this extension point are expected to implement the ISourceSynchronizationProvider interface.
