Class ClasspathVariableInitializer

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.jdt.core.ClasspathVariableInitializer

Direct Known Subclasses:

VariablesInitializer

public abstract class ClasspathVariableInitializer
extends java.lang.Object

Abstract base implementation of all classpath variable initializers. Classpath variable initializers are used in conjunction with the "org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariableInitializer" extension point.

Clients should subclass this class to implement a specific classpath variable initializer. The subclass must have a public 0-argument constructor and a concrete implementation of initialize.

Since:

2.0

Method Detail

initialize

public abstract void initialize(java.lang.String variable)

Binds a value to the workspace classpath variable with the given name, or fails silently if this cannot be done.

A variable initializer is automatically activated whenever a variable value is needed and none has been recorded so far. The implementation of the initializer can set the corresponding variable using JavaCore#setClasspathVariable.

Parameters:

variable - the name of the workspace classpath variable that requires a binding
