org.eclipse.core.filebuffers (Eclipse Platform API Specification)

Interface Summary
Interface	Description
IAnnotationModelFactory	Factory for text file buffer annotation models.
IDocumentFactory	Deprecated As of 3.2 the `"org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.documentCreation"` extension point has been deprecated.
IDocumentSetupParticipant	Participates in the setup of a text file buffer document.
IDocumentSetupParticipantExtension	Extension interface for `IDocumentSetupParticipant`.
IFileBuffer	A file buffer represents a file that can be edited by more than one client.
IFileBufferListener	Interface for listeners to file buffer changes.
IFileBufferManager	A file buffer manager manages file buffers for files while the files are connected to the file buffer manager.
IFileBufferStatusCodes	This interface provides the list of status codes that are used by the file buffer plug-in when it throws `CoreException`.
IPersistableAnnotationModel	Tagging interface for `IAnnotationModel` implementers that offer state persistence.
IStateValidationSupport	Implementers of `IFileBuffer` may also implement `IStateValidationSupport` in order to allow a `IFileBufferManager` to batch the stages of state validation when calling `IFileBufferManager.validateState(IFileBuffer[], org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor, Object)`.
ISynchronizationContext	A file buffer manager (see `IFileBufferManager`) uses an `ISynchronizationContext` in order to execute commands encapsulated as `Runnable`.
ITextFileBuffer	A text file buffer is a file buffer for text files.
ITextFileBufferManager	A text file buffer manager manages text file buffers for files whose contents is considered text.

Package org.eclipse.core.filebuffers Description

Provides the API for accessing file buffers.

Package Specification

File buffers represent a file that is being edited. Text file buffers are specific for text files. They represent the content of a text file in form of an IDocument and and associated IAnnotationModel. File buffers are managed by a file buffer manager. The org.eclipse.core.filebuffers plug-in provides a default file buffer manager that can be obtained by calling FileBuffers.getTextFileBufferManager(). The file buffer manager supports listeners, IFileBufferListener, that are informed about all relevant state changes of file buffers as well as their creation and disposal.
