Method Detail

becomeWorkingCopy

public ICompilationUnit becomeWorkingCopy(IProblemRequestor problemRequestor,
                                          WorkingCopyOwner owner,
                                          org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor monitor)
                                   throws JavaModelException

Description copied from interface: IClassFile

Changes this class file handle into a working copy. A new IBuffer is created using the given owner. Uses the primary owner if null is specified.

When switching to working copy mode, problems are reported to the given IProblemRequestor. Note that once in working copy mode, the given IProblemRequestor is ignored. Only the original IProblemRequestor is used to report subsequent problems.

Once in working copy mode, changes to this working copy or its children are done in memory. Only the new buffer is affected.

Using ICompilationUnit.commitWorkingCopy(boolean, IProgressMonitor) on the working copy will throw a JavaModelException as a class file is implicetly read-only.

If this class file was already in working copy mode, an internal counter is incremented and no other action is taken on this working copy. To bring this working copy back into the original mode (where it reflects the underlying resource), ICompilationUnit.discardWorkingCopy() must be call as many times as IClassFile.becomeWorkingCopy(IProblemRequestor, WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor).

The primary compilation unit of a class file's working copy does not exist if the class file is not in working copy mode (classFileWorkingCopy.getPrimary().exists() == false).

The resource of a class file's working copy is null if the class file is in an external jar file.

Specified by:

becomeWorkingCopy in interface IClassFile

Parameters:

problemRequestor - a requestor which will get notified of problems detected during reconciling as they are discovered. The requestor can be set to null indicating that the client is not interested in problems.

owner - the given WorkingCopyOwner, or null for the primary owner

monitor - a progress monitor used to report progress while opening this compilation unit or null if no progress should be reported

Returns:

a working copy for this class file

Throws:

JavaModelException - if this compilation unit could not become a working copy.

See Also:

ICompilationUnit.discardWorkingCopy()

codeComplete

public void codeComplete(int offset,
                         ICompletionRequestor requestor)
                  throws JavaModelException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ICodeAssist

Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.

Specified by:

codeComplete in interface ICodeAssist

Parameters:

offset - the given offset position

requestor - the given completion requestor

Throws:

JavaModelException - if code assist could not be performed. Reasons include:

• This Java element does not exist (ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
• The position specified is < -1 or is greater than this compilation unit's source length (INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS)

getWorkingCopy

public ICompilationUnit getWorkingCopy(WorkingCopyOwner owner,
                                       org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor monitor)
                                throws JavaModelException

Description copied from interface: ITypeRoot

Returns a shared working copy on this compilation unit or class file using the given working copy owner to create the buffer. If this is already a working copy of the given owner, the element itself is returned. This API can only answer an already existing working copy if it is based on the same original Java type root AND was using the same working copy owner (that is, as defined by Object.equals(java.lang.Object)).

The life time of a shared working copy is as follows:

• The first call to ITypeRoot.getWorkingCopy(WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor) creates a new working copy for this element
• Subsequent calls increment an internal counter.
• A call to ICompilationUnit.discardWorkingCopy() decrements the internal counter.
• When this counter is 0, the working copy is discarded.

So users of this method must discard exactly once the working copy.

Note that the working copy owner will be used for the life time of the shared working copy, that is if the working copy is closed then reopened, this owner will be used. The buffer will be automatically initialized with the original's Java type root content upon creation.

When the shared working copy instance is created, an ADDED IJavaElementDelta is reported on this working copy.

A working copy can be created on a not-yet existing compilation unit. In particular, such a working copy can then be committed in order to create the corresponding compilation unit.

Note that possible problems of this working copy are reported using this method only if the given working copy owner returns a problem requestor for this working copy (see WorkingCopyOwner.getProblemRequestor(ICompilationUnit)).

Specified by:

getWorkingCopy in interface ITypeRoot

Parameters:

owner - the working copy owner that creates a buffer that is used to get the content of the working copy

monitor - a progress monitor used to report progress while opening this compilation unit or null if no progress should be reported

Returns:

a new working copy of this Java type root using the given owner to create the buffer, or this Java type root if it is already a working copy

Throws:

JavaModelException - if the contents of this element can not be determined.

codeComplete

public void codeComplete(int offset,
                         ICodeCompletionRequestor requestor)
                  throws JavaModelException

Deprecated. - should use codeComplete(int, ICompletionRequestor) instead

Description copied from interface: ICodeAssist

Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.
