org.eclipse.update.configurator
Interface IPlatformConfiguration.IFeatureEntry

Enclosing interface:

public static interface IPlatformConfiguration.IFeatureEntry

Feature entry. Represents runtime "hints" about configured features. The information is used during execution to locate the correct attribution information for a feature. Note, that a typical configuration can declare multiple feature entries. At execution time, only one can be selected as the active primary feature. This is determined based on specified command line arguments or computed defaults.

Since:
2.0

Method Summary
 boolean canBePrimary ()
          Returns an indication whether this feature has been defined to act as a primary feature.
  String getFeatureApplication ()
          Returns the application to run when this feature is the primary feature.
  String getFeatureIdentifier ()
          Returns feature identifier.
  String getFeaturePluginIdentifier ()
          Returns the identifier of the feature plug-in for this feature entry.
  String getFeaturePluginVersion ()
          Returns the version of the feature plug-in for this feature entry.
  URL[] getFeatureRootURLs ()
          Returns URLs to the feature "root" locations.
  String getFeatureVersion ()
          Returns the currently configured version for the feature.
 

Method Detail

getFeatureIdentifier


String getFeatureIdentifier()
Returns feature identifier.

Returns:
feature identifier
Since:
2.0

getFeatureVersion


String getFeatureVersion()
Returns the currently configured version for the feature.

Returns:
feature version (as string), or null
Since:
2.0

getFeaturePluginIdentifier


String getFeaturePluginIdentifier()
Returns the identifier of the feature plug-in for this feature entry. Note, that there is no guarantee that a feature in fact supplies a corresponding feature plugin, so the result can be null. Also, if supplied, there is no guarantee that the plugin will in fact be loaded into the plug-in registry at runtime (due to rules and constraint checking performed by the registry loading support). Consequently code making use of this method must handle these conditions.

Returns:
feature identifier (as string), or null
Since:
2.1

getFeaturePluginVersion


String getFeaturePluginVersion()
Returns the version of the feature plug-in for this feature entry. Note, that there is no guarantee that a feature in fact supplies a corresponding feature plugin, so the result can be null. Also, if supplied, there is no guarantee that the plugin will in fact be loaded into the plug-in registry at runtime (due to rules and constraint checking performed by the registry loading support). Consequently code making use of this method must handle these conditions.

Returns:
feature version (as string), or null
Since:
2.0

getFeatureApplication


String getFeatureApplication()
Returns the application to run when this feature is the primary feature.

Returns:
application identifier, or null

Returns URLs to the feature "root" locations. The root URLs are install locations of the feature plugin and its fragments.

Returns:
array of URLs, or an empty array
Since:
2.0
