*
* You need to implement this class in
* EGW_INCLUDE_ROOT/appname/inc/class.export_<type>.inc.php
* to attend the importexport framwork with your export.
*
* NOTE: This is an easy interface, cause plugins live in theire own
* space. Means that they are responsible for generating a defintion AND
* working on that definition.
* So this interface just garanties the interaction with userinterfaces. It
* has nothing to do with datatypes.
*
* JS:
* required function in opener:
*
*
* // returns array of identifiers
* // NOTE: identifiers need to b
* get_selection();
*
* get_selector(); //returns array
