[opencms-dev] Want to start a action class when installing a new module

[Hartmann, Waehrisch & Feykes GmbH]

Unfortunately there is no interface that specifies and describes the methods
for the maintenance class. But all you have to do is to implement this three
methods in a class and specify it in your module's administration with its
full qualified name and wait for their calls. OpenCms calls this methods by
reflection. Again, calling by casting to an interface type would be more
convenient.
I also have to mention that the moduleWasUploaded method was never called in
versions before 5.0 and i didn't test it with 5.0 yet. If you encounter that
it won't work i can tell you what i did as workaround.

Bye,
Stephan
