Interface IQueryParticipant
-
public interface IQueryParticipant
This is the interface expected of extensions to the extension point
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.queryParticipants
.
A IQueryParticipant
is called during the execution of a
Java search query. It can report matches via an
ISearchRequestor
and
may contribute a
IMatchPresentation
to help render the elements it contributes.
Clients may implement this interface.

search
void search(
ISearchRequestor requestor,
QuerySpecification querySpecification,
IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws
CoreException
- Executes the search described by the given
querySpecification
. Matches are reported
to the given requester
.
The interpretation of what a given Java search (e.g. "References to class Foo") means is up to the
participant.
-
-
Parameters:
-
requestor
- The requester to report matches to. -
querySpecification
- The specification of the query to run. -
monitor
- A monitor to report progress on.
-
Throws:
-
CoreException
- Thrown when the search can not be executed
estimateTicks
int estimateTicks(
QuerySpecification specification)
- Returns the number of units of work estimated. The returned number should be normalized such
that the number of ticks for the original Java search job is 1000. For example if the participant
uses the same amount of time as the Java search, it should return 1000, if it uses half the time,
it should return 500, etc.
This method is supposed to give a quick estimate of the work to be done and is assumed
to be much faster than the actual query.
-
-
Parameters:
-
specification
- the specification to estimate.
-
Returns:
- The number of ticks estimated.
getUIParticipant
IMatchPresentation getUIParticipant()
- Gets the UI participant responsible for handling the display of elements not known to the Java search UI. The Java search UI knows
elements are of type
IJavaElement
and IResource
.
A participant may return null
if matches are only reported against elements of type IResource
and IJavaElement
.
-
-
Returns:
- The UI participant for this query participant or
null
.
