org.eclipse.compare.structuremergeviewer
Class DocumentRangeNode


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.compare.structuremergeviewer.DocumentRangeNode
All Implemented Interfaces:
IDocumentRange, IEditableContent, IEditableContentExtension, IEncodedStreamContentAccessor, IStreamContentAccessor, IStructureComparator, IAdaptable
Direct Known Subclasses:
StructureRootNode

public class DocumentRangeNode
extends Object
implements IDocumentRange, IStructureComparator, IEditableContent, IEncodedStreamContentAccessor, IAdaptable, IEditableContentExtension

A document range node represents a structural element when performing a structure compare of documents. DocumentRangeNodes are created while parsing the document and represent a semantic entity (e.g. a Java class or method). As a consequence of the parsing a DocumentRangeNode maps to a range of characters in the document.

Since a DocumentRangeNode implements the IStructureComparator and IStreamContentAccessor interfaces it can be used as input to the differencing engine. This makes it possible to perform a structural diff on a document and have the nodes and leaves of the compare easily map to character ranges within the document.

Clients need to be aware that this node registers position updaters with the document using IDocument.addPosition(String, Position) with the category set to IDocumentRange.RANGE_CATEGORY. The StructureDiffViewer will remove the category when the nodes are no longer being used. Other clients must do the same.

Subclasses may add additional state collected while parsing the document.

getDocument in interface IDocumentRange
Returns:
the underlying document

getRange

public 
Position getRange()
Description copied from interface: IDocumentRange
Returns a position that specifies a subrange in the underlying document, or null if this document range spans the whole underlying document.

Specified by:
getRange in interface IDocumentRange
Returns:
a position that specifies a subrange in the underlying document, or null

getTypeCode

public int getTypeCode()
Returns the type code of this node. The type code is uninterpreted client data which can be set in the constructor.

Returns:
the type code of this node

getId

public 
String getId()
Returns this node's id. It is used in equals and hashcode.

Returns:
the node's id

setId

public void setId(
String id)
Sets this node's id. It is used in equals and hashcode.

Parameters:
id - the new id for this node

addChild

public void addChild(
DocumentRangeNode node)
Adds the given node as a child.

Parameters:
node - the node to add as a child

getChildren

public 
Object[] getChildren()
Description copied from interface: IStructureComparator
Returns an iterator for all children of this object or null if there are no children.

Specified by:
getChildren in interface IStructureComparator
Returns:
an array with all children of this object, or an empty array if there are no children

setLength

public void setLength(int length)
Sets the length of the range of this node.

Parameters:
length - the length of the range

setAppendPosition

public void setAppendPosition(int pos)
Sets a position within the document range that can be used to (legally) insert text without breaking the syntax of the document.

E.g. when parsing a Java document the "append position" of a DocumentRangeNode representing a Java class could be the character position just before the closing bracket. Inserting the text of a new method there would not disturb the syntax of the class.

Parameters:
pos - the character position within the underlying document where text can be legally inserted

getAppendPosition

public 
Position getAppendPosition()
Returns the position that has been set with setAppendPosition. If setAppendPosition hasn't been called, the position after the last character of this range is returned. This method will return null if the position could not be registered with the document.

Returns:
a position where text can be legally inserted

equals

public boolean equals(
Object other)
Implementation based on getID.

Specified by:
equals in interface IStructureComparator
Overrides:
equals in class Object

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
a hash code for this object.

getContents

public 
InputStream getContents()

Specified by:
getContents in interface IStreamContentAccessor
Returns:
an input stream containing the contents of this object

isEditable

public boolean isEditable()
If this node has a parent, return the editability of the parent. Otherwise return true. Subclasses may override.

This method is called on a parent to add or remove a child, or to copy the contents of a child. What to do is encoded in the two arguments as follows:
add: dest == null src != null
remove: dest != null src == null
copy: dest != null src != null

Specified by:
replace in interface IEditableContent
Parameters:
child - the existing child of this object to be replaced; if null a new child can be added.

node - the node that has changed.
Since:
3.3

getAdapter

public 
Object getAdapter(
Class adapter)
Implement IAdaptable.getAdapter(Class) in order to provide an ISharedDocumentAdapter that provides the proper look up key based on the input from which this structure node was created.

shell - a shell used to prompt the user if required.
Returns:
a status object that is OK if things are fine, otherwise a status describing reasons why modifying the given files is not reasonable. A status with a severity of CANCEL is returned if the validation was canceled, indicating the edit should not proceed.

getParentNode

public 
Object getParentNode()
Return the parent of this node or null if the node doesn't have a parent or the parent is not known.
