Constructor Detail

AbstractElementSelectionProvider

public AbstractElementSelectionProvider()
Method Detail

provides

public boolean provides(
IOperation operation)
Indicates whether this provider provides the specified operation.

Providers generally cast the operation to a service specific IOperation-derived class in order to determine whether they support the request.

Specified by:
provides in interface IProvider
Parameters:
operation - The operation in question.
Returns:
true if this provider provides the operation; false otherwise.

getMatchingObjects

public 
ElementSelectionServiceJob getMatchingObjects(
IElementSelectionInput input,
                                                     
IElementSelectionListener listener)
Retrieve a list of matching objects from the provider.

The provider is given an IElementSelectionInput and IElementSelectionListener and creates a ElementSelectionServiceJob.

The provider returns IMatchingObjectEvent to the IElementSelectionListener. If there are ten matching objects, then eleven IMatchingObjectEvent will be sent to the listener. The first ten will have type MatchingObjectEventType.MATCH and will have a matching object. The eleventh event will have type MatchingObjectEventType.END_OF_MATCHES.

Specified by:
getMatchingObjects in interface IElementSelectionProvider
Parameters:
input - the element selection input.
listener - the provider will send matching object events to this listener.
Returns:
the job that is running this provider.

createSelectionJob

protected 
ElementSelectionServiceJob createSelectionJob()
Creates the selection service job that runs the provider's search. This method should configure the new job with the appropriate priority, scheduling rules, etc. but should not schedule it.

Returns:
a new selection provider job

resolve

public java.lang.Object resolve(
IMatchingObject object)
Resolve the matching object to a modeling object.

Specified by:
resolve in interface IElementSelectionProvider
Parameters:
object - the matching object.
Returns:
a modeling object.

run

public void run(
IProgressMonitor monitor)
Retrieve the list of matching objects from the provider.

The ElementSelectionServiceJob will invoke run. Clients must not call this method.

Specified by:
run in interface IElementSelectionProvider
Parameters:
monitor - a progress monitor in which the provider is running.

getJobName

protected java.lang.String getJobName()
Get the name for the ElementSelectionServiceJob. Clients can override.

Returns:
the name for the job.

fireEndOfMatchesEvent

protected void fireEndOfMatchesEvent()
Fire an end of matches event since there are no more matches.


fireMatchingObjectEvent

protected void fireMatchingObjectEvent(
IMatchingObject matchingObject)
Fire a matching object event.

Parameters:
matchingObject - the matching object.

fireMatchingObjectEvent

protected void fireMatchingObjectEvent(
IMatchingObjectEvent matchingObjectEvent)
Send the matching object event to the listener.

Parameters:
matchingObjectEvent - the matching object event.

getElementSelectionInput

protected 
IElementSelectionInput getElementSelectionInput()
Retrieve the element selection input.

Returns:
