-
public abstract class RefreshProvider
- extends org.eclipse.core.internal.refresh.InternalRefreshProvider
The abstract base class for all auto-refresh providers. This class provides
the infrastructure for defining an auto-refresh provider and fulfills the
contract specified by the org.eclipse.core.resources.refreshProviders
standard extension point.
All auto-refresh providers must subclass this class. A
RefreshProvider
is responsible for creating
IRefreshMonitor
objects. The provider must decide if
it is capable of monitoring the file, or folder and subtree under the path that is provided.

RefreshProvider
public RefreshProvider()
createPollingMonitor
protected
IRefreshMonitor createPollingMonitor(
IResource resource)
- Creates a new refresh monitor that performs naive polling of the resource
in the file system to detect changes. The returned monitor will immediately begin
monitoring the specified resource root and report changes back to the workspace.
This default monitor can be returned by subclasses when
installMonitor
is called.
If the returned monitor is not immediately returned from the installMonitor
method, then clients are responsible for telling the returned monitor to
stop polling when it is no longer needed. The returned monitor can be told to
stop working by invoking IRefreshMonitor.unmonitor(IResource)
.

installMonitor
public abstract
IRefreshMonitor installMonitor(
IResource resource,
IRefreshResult result)
- Returns an
IRefreshMonitor
that will monitor a resource. If
the resource is an IContainer
the monitor will also
monitor the subtree under the container. Returns null
if
this provider cannot create a monitor for the given resource. The
provider may return the same monitor instance that has been provided for
other resources.
The monitor should send results and failures to the provided refresh
result.

Parameters:
-
resource
- the resource to monitor -
result
- the result callback for notifying of failure or of resources that need
refreshing
-
Returns:
- a monitor on the resource, or
null
if the resource cannot be monitored -

resetMonitors
public void resetMonitors(
IResource resource)
- Resets the installed monitors for the given resource. This will remove all
existing monitors that are installed on the resource, and then ask all
refresh providers to begin monitoring the resource again.
This method is intended to be used by refresh providers that need to change
the refresh monitor that they previously used to monitor a resource.
