Class CreateCompilationUnitOperation

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaModelOperation
      org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.CreateCompilationUnitOperation

All Implemented Interfaces:

IWorkspaceRunnable, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor

public class CreateCompilationUnitOperation
extends JavaModelOperation

This operation creates a compilation unit (CU). If the CU doesn't exist yet, a new compilation unit will be created with the content provided. Otherwise the operation will override the contents of an existing CU with the new content.

Note: It is possible to create a CU automatically when creating a class or interface. Thus, the preferred method of creating a CU is to perform a create type operation rather than first creating a CU and secondly creating a type inside the CU.

Required Attributes:

• The package fragment in which to create the compilation unit.
• The name of the compilation unit. Do not include the ".java" suffix (ex. "Object" - the ".java" will be added for the name of the compilation unit.)
