          Pre-order traversal means visit the root first, then the children.
 
Constructor Summary
PreferenceManager ()
          Creates a new preference manager.
PreferenceManager (char separatorChar)
          Creates a new preference manager with the given path separator.
PreferenceManager (char separatorChar, PreferenceNode rootNode)
          Creates a new preference manager with the given path separator and root node.
 
Method Summary
 boolean addTo ( String path, IPreferenceNode node)
          Adds the given preference node as a subnode of the node at the given path.
 void addToRoot ( IPreferenceNode node)
          Adds the given preference node as a subnode of the root.
protected  void buildSequence ( IPreferenceNode node, List sequence, int order)
          Recursively enumerates all nodes at or below the given node and adds them to the given list in the given order.
  IPreferenceNode find ( String path)
          Finds and returns the contribution node at the given path.
protected   IPreferenceNode find ( String path, IPreferenceNode top)
          Finds and returns the preference node directly below the top at the given path.

          Returns all preference nodes managed by this manager.
protected   IPreferenceNode getRoot ()
          Returns the root node.
  IPreferenceNode[] getRootSubNodes ()
          Returns the root level nodes of this preference manager.
 boolean remove ( IPreferenceNode node)
          Removes the given prefreence node if it is managed by this contribution manager.
  IPreferenceNode remove ( String path)
          Removes the preference node at the given path.

PreferenceManager

public PreferenceManager(char separatorChar)
Creates a new preference manager with the given path separator.

Parameters:
separatorChar -

PreferenceManager

public PreferenceManager(char separatorChar,
                         
PreferenceNode rootNode)
Creates a new preference manager with the given path separator and root node.

Parameters:
separatorChar - the separator character
rootNode - the root node.
Since:
3.4
Method Detail

addTo

public boolean addTo(
String path,
                     
IPreferenceNode node)
Adds the given preference node as a subnode of the node at the given path.

Parameters:
path - the path
node - the node to add
Returns:
true if the add was successful, and false if there is no contribution at the given path

addToRoot

public void addToRoot(
IPreferenceNode node)
Adds the given preference node as a subnode of the root.

Parameters:
node - the node to add, which must implement IPreferenceNode

buildSequence

protected void buildSequence(
IPreferenceNode node,
                             
List sequence,
                             int order)
Recursively enumerates all nodes at or below the given node and adds them to the given list in the given order.

Parameters:
node - the starting node
sequence - a read-write list of preference nodes (element type: IPreferenceNode) in the given order
order - the traversal order, one of PRE_ORDER and POST_ORDER

find

public 
IPreferenceNode find(
String path)
Finds and returns the contribution node at the given path.

Parameters:
path - the path
Returns:
the node, or null if none

find

protected 
IPreferenceNode find(
String path,
                               
IPreferenceNode top)
Finds and returns the preference node directly below the top at the given path.

Parameters:
path - the path
top - top at the given path
Returns:
the node, or null if none
Since:
3.1

getElements

public 
List getElements(int order)
Returns all preference nodes managed by this manager.

Parameters:
order - the traversal order, one of PRE_ORDER and POST_ORDER
Returns:
a list of preference nodes (element type: IPreferenceNode) in the given order

getRoot

protected 
IPreferenceNode getRoot()
Returns the root node. Note that the root node is a special internal node that is used to collect together all the nodes that have no parent; it is not given out to clients.

Returns:
the root node

getRootSubNodes

public final 
IPreferenceNode[] getRootSubNodes()
Returns the root level nodes of this preference manager.

Returns:
an array containing the root nodes
Since:
3.2

remove

public 
IPreferenceNode remove(
String path)
Removes the preference node at the given path.

Parameters:
path - the path
Returns:
the node that was removed, or null if there was no node at the given path

remove

public boolean remove(
IPreferenceNode node)
Removes the given prefreence node if it is managed by this contribution manager.

Parameters:
node - the node to remove
Returns:
true if the node was removed, and false otherwise

removeAll

public void removeAll()
Removes all contribution nodes known to this manager.
