isIgnore

public boolean isIgnore()

If a property is set to ignore then Namespaces will ignore it if it doesn't exist on lookup (otherwise errors messages are output). This is useful if you have a plugin on a classpath (its unavoidable), but you don't want to see the errors messages (since it really isn't an error). Another use of it would be to ignore outlet entires for cartridges if you wanted to generate some from the cartridge outlets, but not others.

Returns:

Returns the ignore value true/false.

setIgnore

public void setIgnore(boolean ignore)

Parameters:

ignore - The ignore to set.
