Class PresentationReconciler

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.eclipse.jface.text.presentation.PresentationReconciler
All Implemented Interfaces:
IPresentationReconciler, IPresentationReconcilerExtension

public class PresentationReconciler
extends Object
implements IPresentationReconciler, IPresentationReconcilerExtension

Standard implementation of IPresentationReconciler. This implementation assumes that the tasks performed by its presentation damagers and repairers are lightweight and of low cost. This presentation reconciler runs in the UI thread and always repairs the complete damage caused by a document change rather than just the portion overlapping with the viewer's viewport.

Usually, clients instantiate this class and configure it before using it.

Constructor Detail

PresentationReconciler

public PresentationReconciler()
Creates a new presentation reconciler. There are no damagers or repairers registered with this reconciler by default. The default partitioning IDocumentExtension3.DEFAULT_PARTITIONING is used.

Method Detail

setDocumentPartitioning

public void setDocumentPartitioning(String partitioning)
Sets the document partitioning for this presentation reconciler.

Parameters:
partitioning - the document partitioning for this presentation reconciler.
Since:
3.0

getDocumentPartitioning

public String getDocumentPartitioning()
Description copied from interface: IPresentationReconcilerExtension
Returns the document partitioning this presentation reconciler is using.

Specified by:
getDocumentPartitioning in interface IPresentationReconcilerExtension
Returns:
the document partitioning this presentation reconciler is using

setDamager

public void setDamager(IPresentationDamager damager,
                       String contentType)
Registers the given presentation damager for a particular content type. If there is already a damager registered for this type, the old damager is removed first.

Parameters:
damager - the presentation damager to register, or null to remove an existing one
contentType - the content type under which to register

setRepairer

public void setRepairer(IPresentationRepairer repairer,
                        String contentType)
Registers the given presentation repairer for a particular content type. If there is already a repairer registered for this type, the old repairer is removed first.

Parameters:
repairer - the presentation repairer to register, or null to remove an existing one
contentType - the content type under which to register

install

public void install(ITextViewer viewer)
Description copied from interface: IPresentationReconciler
Installs this presentation reconciler on the given text viewer. After this method has been finished, the reconciler is operational. I.e., it works without requesting further client actions until uninstall is called.

The install and uninstall methods must be called in sequence; i.e. repeatedly calling install without uninstalling may throw an exception.

Specified by:
install in interface IPresentationReconciler
Parameters:
viewer - the viewer on which this presentation reconciler is installed

uninstall

public void uninstall()
Description copied from interface: IPresentationReconciler
Removes the reconciler from the text viewer it has previously been installed on.

Specified by:
uninstall in interface IPresentationReconciler

getDamager

public IPresentationDamager getDamager(String contentType)
Description copied from interface: IPresentationReconciler
Returns the presentation damager registered with this presentation reconciler for the specified content type.

Specified by:
getDamager in interface IPresentationReconciler
Parameters:
contentType - the content type for which to determine the damager
Returns:
the presentation damager registered for the given content type, or null if there is no damager

getRepairer

public IPresentationRepairer getRepairer(String contentType)
Description copied from interface: IPresentationReconciler
Returns the presentation repairer registered with this presentation reconciler for the specified content type.

Specified by:
getRepairer in interface IPresentationReconciler
Parameters:
contentType - the content type for which to determine the repairer
Returns:
the presentation repairer registered for the given content type, or null if there is no repairer

setDocumentToDamagers

protected void setDocumentToDamagers(IDocument document)
Informs all registered damagers about the document on which they will work.

Parameters:
document - the document on which to work

setDocumentToRepairers

protected void setDocumentToRepairers(IDocument document)
Informs all registered repairers about the document on which they will work.

Parameters:
document - the document on which to work

createPresentation

protected TextPresentation createPresentation(IRegion damage,
                                              IDocument document)
Constructs a "repair description" for the given damage and returns this description as a text presentation. For this, it queries the partitioning of the damage region and asks the appropriate presentation repairer for each partition to construct the "repair description" for this partition.

Parameters:
damage - the damage to be repaired
document - the document whose presentation must be repaired
Returns:
the presentation repair description as text presentation or null if the partitioning could not be computed
