Eclipse JDT
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.jdt.core.search
Class SearchEngine


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.search.SearchEngine

public class SearchEngine
extends Object

A SearchEngine searches for Java elements following a search pattern. The search can be limited to a search scope.

Various search patterns can be created using the factory methods SearchPattern.createPattern(String, int, int, int), SearchPattern.createPattern(IJavaElement, int), SearchPattern.createOrPattern(SearchPattern, SearchPattern).

For example, one can search for references to a method in the hierarchy of a type, or one can search for the declarations of types starting with "Abstract" in a project.

This class may be instantiated.

Restriction:
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.

JavaModelException
Returns a Java search scope limited to the hierarchy of the given type. The Java elements resulting from a search with this scope will be types in this hierarchy, or members of the types in this hierarchy.

Parameters:
type - the focus of the hierarchy scope
Returns:
a new hierarchy scope
Throws:
JavaModelException - if the hierarchy could not be computed on the given type

createHierarchyScope

JavaModelException
Returns a Java search scope limited to the hierarchy of the given type.

The Java elements resulting from a search with this scope will be types in this hierarchy, or members of the types in this hierarchy.

Parameters:
type - the focus of the hierarchy scope
owner - the owner of working copies that take precedence over original compilation units

public static 
IJavaSearchScope createJavaSearchScope(

Deprecated. Use createJavaSearchScope(IJavaElement[]) instead.

Returns a Java search scope limited to the given resources. The Java elements resulting from a search with this scope will have their underlying resource included in or equals to one of the given resources.

Resources must not overlap, for example, one cannot include a folder and its children.

Parameters:
resources - the resources the scope is limited to
Returns:
a new Java search scope

createJavaSearchScope

public static 
IJavaSearchScope createJavaSearchScope(
IJavaElement[] elements)
Returns a Java search scope limited to the given Java elements. The Java elements resulting from a search with this scope will be children of the given elements.

If an element is an IJavaProject, then the project's source folders, its jars (external and internal) and its referenced projects (with their source folders and jars, recursively) will be included. If an element is an IPackageFragmentRoot, then only the package fragments of this package fragment root will be included. If an element is an IPackageFragment, then only the compilation unit and class files of this package fragment will be included. Subpackages will NOT be included.

In other words, this is equivalent to using SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(elements, true).

Parameters:
elements - the Java elements the scope is limited to
Returns:
a new Java search scope
Since:
2.0

Returns a Java search scope limited to the given Java elements. The Java elements resulting from a search with this scope will be children of the given elements. If an element is an IJavaProject, then the project's source folders, its jars (external and internal) and - if specified - its referenced projects (with their source folders and jars, recursively) will be included. If an element is an IPackageFragmentRoot, then only the package fragments of this package fragment root will be included. If an element is an IPackageFragment, then only the compilation unit and class files of this package fragment will be included. Subpackages will NOT be included.

Parameters:

Returns a Java search scope limited to the given Java elements. The Java elements resulting from a search with this scope will be children of the given elements. If an element is an IJavaProject, then it includes: - its source folders if IJavaSearchScope.SOURCES is specified, - its application libraries (internal and external jars, class folders that are on the raw classpath, or the ones that are coming from a classpath path variable, or the ones that are coming from a classpath container with the K_APPLICATION kind) if IJavaSearchScope.APPLICATION_LIBRARIES is specified - its system libraries (internal and external jars, class folders that are coming from an IClasspathContainer with the K_SYSTEM kind) if IJavaSearchScope.APPLICATION_LIBRARIES is specified - its referenced projects (with their source folders and jars, recursively) if IJavaSearchScope.REFERENCED_PROJECTS is specified.

Parameters:
workspace - the workspace
patternString - the pattern to be searched for
searchFor - a hint what kind of Java element the string pattern represents. Look into IJavaSearchConstants for valid values
limitTo - one of the following values:
scope - the search result has to be limited to the given scope
resultCollector - a callback object to which each match is reported
Throws:
JavaModelException - if the search failed. Reasons include:
  • the classpath is incorrectly set
