Class CopyElementsOperation

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaModelOperation
      org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.MultiOperation
          org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.CopyElementsOperation

All Implemented Interfaces:

IWorkspaceRunnable, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor, SuffixConstants

Direct Known Subclasses:

MoveElementsOperation

public class CopyElementsOperation
extends MultiOperation
implements SuffixConstants

This operation copies/moves a collection of elements from their current container to a new container, optionally renaming the elements.

Notes:

• If there is already an element with the same name in the new container, the operation either overwrites or aborts, depending on the collision policy setting. The default setting is abort.
• When constructors are copied to a type, the constructors are automatically renamed to the name of the destination type.
• When main types are renamed (move within the same parent), the compilation unit and constructors are automatically renamed
• The collection of elements being copied must all share the same type of container (for example, must all be type members).
• The elements are inserted in the new container in the order given.
• The elements can be positioned in the new container - see #setInsertBefore. By default, the elements are inserted based on the default positions as specified in the creation operation for that element type.
• This operation can be used to copy and rename elements within the same container.
• This operation only copies elements contained within compilation units.

Constructor Detail

CopyElementsOperation

public CopyElementsOperation(IJavaElement[] elementsToCopy,
                             IJavaElement[] destContainers,
                             boolean force)

When executed, this operation will copy the given elements to the given containers. The elements and destination containers must be in the correct order. If there is > 1 destination, the number of destinations must be the same as the number of elements being copied/moved/renamed.
