Adding New IC Patterns

•In the manufacturer handler's initializePatterns():

java

registry.addPattern(ComponentType.OPAMP, "^NEWOPA[0-9].*");
registry.addPattern(ComponentType.OPAMP_MANUFACTURER, "^NEWOPA[0-9].*");

•Add to getSupportedTypes():

java

types.add(ComponentType.OPAMP);
types.add(ComponentType.OPAMP_MANUFACTURER);
