org.eclipse.pde.core.plugin
Class ModelEntry


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.core.runtime.PlatformObject
      extended by 
org.eclipse.pde.core.plugin.ModelEntry
All Implemented Interfaces:

public class ModelEntry
extends PlatformObject

A ModelEntry object has an ID and keeps track of all workspace plug-ins and target plug-ins that have that ID.

This class is not meant to be extended or instantiated by clients.

Since:
3.3
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

ArrayList fExternalEntries
Constructor Detail

ModelEntry

public ModelEntry(
String id)
Constructor

Parameters:
id - the entry ID
Method Detail

getWorkspaceModels

public 
IPluginModelBase[] getWorkspaceModels()
Returns all the workspace plug-ins that have the model entry ID

Returns:
an array of workspace plug-ins that have the model entry ID

getExternalModels

public 
IPluginModelBase[] getExternalModels()
Returns all plug-ins in the target platform that have the model entry ID. The returned result contains both plug-ins that are enabled (ie. checked on the Plug-in Development > Target Platform preference page) and disabled.

Returns:
an array of plug-ins in the target platform that have the model entry ID

getModel

public 
IPluginModelBase getModel()
Returns the plug-in model for the best match plug-in with the given ID. A null value is returned if no such bundle is found in the workspace or target platform.

A workspace plug-in is always preferably returned over a target plug-in. A plug-in that is checked/enabled on the Target Platform preference page is always preferably returned over a target plug-in that is unchecked/disabled.

In the case of a tie among workspace plug-ins or among target plug-ins, the plug-in with the highest version is returned.

In the case of a tie among more than one suitable plug-in that have the same version, one of those plug-ins is randomly returned.

Returns:
the plug-in model for the best match plug-in with the given ID

getActiveModels

public 
IPluginModelBase[] getActiveModels()
Returns all the plug-ins, with the model entry ID, that are currently active.

Workspace plug-ins are always active. Target plug-ins are only active if:

  • they are checked on the Plug-in Development > Target Platform preference page
  • there does not exist a workspace plug-in that has the same ID

Returns:
an array of the currently active plug-ins with the model entry ID

getId

public 
String getId()
Returns the model entry ID

Returns:
the model entry ID

getModel

public 
IPluginModelBase getModel(org.eclipse.osgi.service.resolver.BundleDescription desc)
Return the plug-in model associated with the given bundle description or null if none is found.

Parameters:
desc - the given bundle description
Returns:
the plug-in model associated with the given bundle description if such a model exists.

hasWorkspaceModels

public boolean hasWorkspaceModels()
Returns true if there are workspace plug-ins associated with the ID of this model entry; falseotherwise.

Returns:
true if there are workspace plug-ins associated with the ID of this model entry; falseotherwise.

hasExternalModels

public boolean hasExternalModels()
Returns true if there are target plug-ins associated with the ID of this model entry; falseotherwise.

Returns:
true if there are target plug-ins associated with the ID of this model entry; falseotherwise.
