public abstract class PlatformObject extends Object implements IAdaptable
IAdaptable
interface. getAdapter invocations are directed
to the platform's adapter manager.
Note: In situations where it would be awkward to subclass this
class, the same affect can be achieved simply by implementing
the IAdaptable interface and explicitly forwarding
the getAdapter request to the platform's
adapter manager. The method would look like:
public Object getAdapter(Class adapter) {
return Platform.getAdapterManager().getAdapter(this, adapter);
}
This class can be used without OSGi running.
Clients may subclass.

getAdapter(Class adapter)
Returns an object which is an instance of the given class
associated with this object.

public Object getAdapter(Class adapter)
null if
no such object can be found.
This implementation of the method declared by IAdaptable
passes the request along to the platform's adapter manager; roughly
Platform.getAdapterManager().getAdapter(this, adapter).
Subclasses may override this method (however, if they do so, they
should invoke the method on their superclass to ensure that the
Platform's adapter manager is consulted).
