Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.jface.text.rules
Class WordRule


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.jface.text.rules.WordRule
All Implemented Interfaces:
IRule

public class WordRule
extends Object
implements IRule

An implementation of IRule capable of detecting words. A word rule also allows to associate a token to a word. That is, not only can the rule be used to provide tokens for exact matches, but also for the generalized notion of a word in the context in which it is used. A word rule uses a word detector to determine what a word is.

See Also:
IWordDetector

Field Summary
protected  int fColumn
          The column constraint.
protected   IToken fDefaultToken
          The default token to be returned on success and if nothing else has been specified.
protected   IWordDetector fDetector
          The word detector used by this rule.
protected   Map fWords
          The table of predefined words and token for this rule.
protected static int UNDEFINED
          Internal setting for the un-initialized column constraint.
 
Constructor Summary
WordRule ( IWordDetector detector)
          Creates a rule which, with the help of an word detector, will return the token associated with the detected word.
WordRule ( IWordDetector detector, IToken defaultToken)
          Creates a rule which, with the help of a word detector, will return the token associated with the detected word.
WordRule ( IWordDetector detector, IToken defaultToken, boolean ignoreCase)
          Creates a rule which, with the help of a word detector, will return the token associated with the detected word.
 
Method Summary
 void addWord ( String word, IToken token)
          Adds a word and the token to be returned if it is detected.
  IToken evaluate ( ICharacterScanner scanner)
          Evaluates the rule by examining the characters available from the provided character scanner.
 void setColumnConstraint (int column)
          Sets a column constraint for this rule.
protected  void unreadBuffer ( ICharacterScanner scanner)
          Returns the characters in the buffer to the scanner.

Field Detail

UNDEFINED

protected static final int UNDEFINED
Internal setting for the un-initialized column constraint.

Constant Field Values

fDetector

protected 
IWordDetector fDetector
The word detector used by this rule.


fDefaultToken

protected 
IToken fDefaultToken
The default token to be returned on success and if nothing else has been specified.


fColumn

protected int fColumn
The column constraint.


fWords

protected 
Map fWords
The table of predefined words and token for this rule.

Constructor Detail

WordRule

public WordRule(
IWordDetector detector)
Creates a rule which, with the help of an word detector, will return the token associated with the detected word. If no token has been associated, the scanner will be rolled back and an undefined token will be returned in order to allow any subsequent rules to analyze the characters.

Parameters:
detector - the word detector to be used by this rule, may not be null
See Also:
addWord(String, IToken)

WordRule

public WordRule(
IWordDetector detector,
                
IToken defaultToken)
Creates a rule which, with the help of a word detector, will return the token associated with the detected word. If no token has been associated, the specified default token will be returned.

Parameters:
detector - the word detector to be used by this rule, may not be null
defaultToken - the default token to be returned on success if nothing else is specified, may not be null
See Also:
addWord(String, IToken)

WordRule

public WordRule(
IWordDetector detector,
                
IToken defaultToken,
                boolean ignoreCase)
Creates a rule which, with the help of a word detector, will return the token associated with the detected word. If no token has been associated, the specified default token will be returned.

Parameters:
detector - the word detector to be used by this rule, may not be null
defaultToken - the default token to be returned on success if nothing else is specified, may not be null
ignoreCase - the case sensitivity associated with this rule
Since:
3.3
See Also:
addWord(String, IToken)
Method Detail

addWord

public void addWord(
String word,
                    
IToken token)
Adds a word and the token to be returned if it is detected.

Parameters:
word - the word this rule will search for, may not be null
token - the token to be returned if the word has been found, may not be null

setColumnConstraint

public void setColumnConstraint(int column)
Sets a column constraint for this rule. If set, the rule's token will only be returned if the pattern is detected starting at the specified column. If the column is smaller then 0, the column constraint is considered removed.

Parameters:
column - the column in which the pattern starts

evaluate

public 
IToken evaluate(
ICharacterScanner scanner)
Description copied from interface: IRule
Evaluates the rule by examining the characters available from the provided character scanner. The token returned by this rule returns true when calling isUndefined, if the text that the rule investigated does not match the rule's requirements

Specified by:
evaluate in interface IRule
Parameters:
scanner - the character scanner to be used by this rule
Returns:
the token computed by the rule

unreadBuffer

protected void unreadBuffer(
ICharacterScanner scanner)
Returns the characters in the buffer to the scanner.

Parameters:
scanner - the scanner to be used
