Interface IJavaSearchScope

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractJavaSearchScope, AbstractSearchScope, HierarchyScope, JavaSearchScope, JavaWorkspaceScope

public interface IJavaSearchScope

An IJavaSearchScope defines where search result should be found by a SearchEngine. Clients must pass an instance of this interface to the search(...) methods. Such an instance can be created using the following factory methods on SearchEngine: createHierarchyScope(IType), createJavaSearchScope(IResource[]), createWorkspaceScope(), or clients may choose to implement this interface.

Field Summary

static int	APPLICATION_LIBRARIES Include type constant (bit mask) indicating that application libraries should be considered in the search scope.
static java.lang.String	JAR_FILE_ENTRY_SEPARATOR This constant defines the separator of the resourcePath string of the encloses(String) method.
static int	REFERENCED_PROJECTS Include type constant (bit mask) indicating that referenced projects should be considered in the search scope.
static int	SOURCES Include type constant (bit mask) indicating that source folders should be considered in the search scope.
static int	SYSTEM_LIBRARIES Include type constant (bit mask) indicating that system libraries should be considered in the search scope.

Method Summary

boolean	encloses(IJavaElement element) Checks whether this scope encloses the given element.
boolean	encloses(java.lang.String resourcePath) Checks whether the resource at the given path is enclosed by this scope.
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath[]	enclosingProjectsAndJars() Returns the paths to the enclosing projects and JARs for this search scope.
boolean	includesBinaries() Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with the package fragment roots that correspond to the binaries instead.
boolean	includesClasspaths() Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with a Java project instead.
void	setIncludesBinaries(boolean includesBinaries) Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with the package fragment roots that correspond to the binaries instead.
void	setIncludesClasspaths(boolean includesClasspaths) Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with a Java project instead.

Field Detail

JAR_FILE_ENTRY_SEPARATOR

static final java.lang.String JAR_FILE_ENTRY_SEPARATOR

This constant defines the separator of the resourcePath string of the encloses(String) method. If present in the string, it separates the path to the jar file from the path to the .class file in the jar.

Method Detail

encloses

boolean encloses(java.lang.String resourcePath)

Checks whether the resource at the given path is enclosed by this scope.

Parameters:

resourcePath - if the resource is contained in a JAR file, the path is composed of 2 paths separated by JAR_FILE_ENTRY_SEPARATOR: the first path is the full OS path to the JAR (if it is an external JAR), or the workspace relative IPath to the JAR (if it is an internal JAR), the second path is the path to the resource inside the JAR.

Returns:

whether the resource is enclosed by this scope

encloses

boolean encloses(IJavaElement element)

Checks whether this scope encloses the given element.

Parameters:

element - the given element

Returns:

true if the element is in this scope

enclosingProjectsAndJars

org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath[] enclosingProjectsAndJars()

Returns the paths to the enclosing projects and JARs for this search scope.

• If the path is a project path, this is the full path of the project (see IResource.getFullPath()). For example, /MyProject
• If the path is a JAR path and this JAR is internal to the workspace, this is the full path of the JAR file (see IResource.getFullPath()). For example, /MyProject/mylib.jar
• If the path is a JAR path and this JAR is external to the workspace, this is the full OS path to the JAR file on the file system. For example, d:\libs\mylib.jar

Returns:

an array of paths to the enclosing projects and JARS.

includesBinaries

boolean includesBinaries()

Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with the package fragment roots that correspond to the binaries instead.

Returns whether this scope contains any .class files (either in folders or within JARs).

Returns:

whether this scope contains any .class files

includesClasspaths

boolean includesClasspaths()

Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with a Java project instead.

Returns whether this scope includes classpaths defined by the projects of the resources of this search scope.

Returns:

whether this scope includes classpaths

setIncludesBinaries

void setIncludesBinaries(boolean includesBinaries)

Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with the package fragment roots that correspond to the binaries instead.

Sets whether this scope contains any .class files (either in folders or within JARs).

Parameters:

includesBinaries - whether this scope contains any .class files

setIncludesClasspaths

void setIncludesClasspaths(boolean includesClasspaths)

Deprecated. Use SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) with a Java project instead.

Sets whether this scope includes the classpaths defined by the projects of the resources of this search scope.

Parameters:

includesClasspaths - whether this scope includes classpaths
