File System Providers
Identifier:
org.eclipse.core.filesystem.filesystems
Since:
org.eclipse.core.filesystem 1.0
Description:
This extension point is used to provide implementations of the abstract file system API org.eclipse.core.filesystem.IFileSystem. File system implementations control all aspects of querying and modifying a tree of files and directories in some backing store. Each file system extension is responsible for a file system namespace identified by a particular URI scheme.
Configuration Markup:
<!ELEMENT extension (
filesystem)>
<!ATTLIST extension
point CDATA #REQUIRED
id CDATA #IMPLIED
name CDATA #IMPLIED
>
<!ELEMENT filesystem (
run)>
<!ATTLIST filesystem
scheme CDATA #REQUIRED
>
-
scheme - The URI scheme of this kind of file system.
<!ELEMENT run EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST run
class CDATA #REQUIRED
>
-
class - The fully qualified name of a class that subclasses org.eclipse.core.filesystem.provider.FileSystem
Examples:
Following is an example of a file system extension that provides access
to file systems using the "gopher" URI scheme.
<extension id=
"gopherFS"
name=
"Gopher File System"
point=
"org.eclipse.core.filesystem.filesystems"
>
<filesystem scheme=
"gopher"
>
<run class=
"com.xyz.fs.GopherFileSystem"
/>
</filesystem>
</extension>
If this extension was defined in a plug-in with id "com.xyz.coolplugin", the fully qualified name
of this file system extension would be "com.xyz.coolplugin.gopherFS".
Supplied Implementation:
The platform provides a file system implementation for the "file" scheme.
