Interface IMatchRules

All Known Subinterfaces:: IPluginImport, IPluginReference

All Known Implementing Classes:: PluginReference

public interface IMatchRules

This interface contains constants used throughout the plug-in for plug-in reference matching. These rules are used to control when determining if two compared versions are equivalent.

Restriction:: This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
Restriction:: This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.

Field Summary

static int COMPATIBLE
          A match that is compatible with the required version.

static int EQUIVALENT
          A match that is equivalent to the required version.

static int GREATER_OR_EQUAL
          A match requires that a version is greater or equal to the specified version.

static int NONE
          No rule.

static int PERFECT
          An perfect match.

static int PREFIX
          An id match requires that the specified id is a prefix of a candidate id.

static String RULE_COMPATIBLE
          Attribute value for the 'compatible' rule.

static String RULE_EQUIVALENT
          Attribute value for the 'equivalent' rule.

static String RULE_GREATER_OR_EQUAL
          Attribute value for the 'greater or equal' rule

static String[] RULE_NAME_TABLE
          Table of rule names that match rule values defined in this interface.

static String RULE_PERFECT
          Attribute value for the 'perfect' rule.

static String RULE_PREFIX
          Attribute value for the 'prefix' id rule
