The Probekit object

The Probekit object is the top-level container for one or more Probe objects. A .probe source file can contain only one Probekit object. When the probe is built or imported, the Probekit object's id and version property values are used to identify the probe in the Probekit registry.

The Probekit object is required.

The Probekit object includes the following properties:
Property Description
id Optional. Specify a unique identification string that will identify this probe through multiple versions in the Probekit registry. One way to create unique identification strings is to use the reverse-domain system of Eclipse plug-ins and Java™ package names: if the Internet domain name of your company is "mycompany.com" and your probe is named Example, then the id string com.mycompany.Example is likely to be unique.
version Optional. Specify a version number with multiple segments separated by periods: "1.3" or "2.5.1" for example. When the probe is built or imported, the Probekit registry compares version numbers to determine which version of a probe is "newer," starting with the first group of digits in the string, then the second, and so on. If all of the digit groups in two version strings match before the end of the shorter string, the longer string is considered to be newer; "2.5.1" is newer than "2.5", for example.
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<probekit id="com.mycompany.Example" version="3.2.1">
   <label name= "Example" description="An example probe"/>
   <probe>
      <fragment . . . >
         . . .
      </fragment>
      <fragment . . . >
         . . .
      </fragment>
   </probe>
</probekit>
