24/**
25 * @brief Base class for configuration UI for Akonadi agents
26 *
27 * Each agent that has a graphical configuration should subclass this class
28 * and create its configuration UI there.
29 *
30 * The subclass must reimplement load() and save() virtual methods which
31 * are called automatically. The load() method is called on start to initialize
32 * widgets (thus subclasses don't need to call it themselves) or when user
33 * clicks a "Reset" button. The save() method is called whenever user decides to
34 * save changes.
35 *
36 * Since each Akonadi agent instance has its own configuration file whose
37 * location and name is opaque to the implementation, config() method can be
38 * used to get access to the current configuration object.
39 *
40 * The widget will not run in the same process as the Akonadi agent, thus all
41 * communication with the resource (if needed) should be done over DBus. The
42 * identifier of the instance currently being configured is accessible from the
43 * identifier() method.
44 *
45 * There is no need to signal back to the resource when configuration is changed.
46 * When save() is called and the dialog is destroyed, Akonadi will automatically
47 * call AgentBase::reconfigure() in the respective Akonadi agent instance.
48 *
49 * It is guaranteed that only a single instance of the configuration dialog for
50 * given agent will be opened at the same time.
51 *
52 * Subclasses of ConfigurationBase must be registered as Akonadi plugins using
53 * AKONADI_AGENTCONFIG_FACTORY macro.
54 *
55 * The metadata JSON file then must contain the following values:
56 * @code
57 * {
58 * "X-Akonadi-PluginType": "AgentConfig",
59 * "X-Akonadi-Library": "exampleresourceconfig",
60 * "X-Akonadi-AgentConfig-Type": "akonadi_example_resource"
61 * }
62 * @endcode
63 *
64 * The @p X-Akonadi-Library value must match the name of the plugin binary without
65 * the (optional) "lib" prefix and file extension. The @p X-Akonadi-AgentConfig-Type
66 * value must match the name of the @p X-Akonadi-Identifier value from the agent's
67 * desktop file.
68 *
69 * The plugin binary should be installed into pim<version>/akonadi/config subdirectory in one
70 * of the paths search by QCoreApplication::libraryPaths().
