Adding New Inductor Patterns

  1. In the manufacturer handler's initializePatterns():
registry.addPattern(ComponentType.INDUCTOR, "^NEWIND[0-9]{4}.*");
registry.addPattern(ComponentType.INDUCTOR_CHIP_MANUFACTURER, "^NEWIND[0-9]{4}.*");
  1. Add to getSupportedTypes():
types.add(ComponentType.INDUCTOR);
types.add(ComponentType.INDUCTOR_CHIP_MANUFACTURER);
