Interface IClasspathContributor

public interface IClasspathContributor

Implementors of this interface can contribute additional IClasspathEntry to a plug-in project as the classpath is computed. The contributor is consulted when the initial classpath for a plug-in project is calculated as well as whenever a new bundle dependency is created.

A classpath contributor is declared as an extension (org.eclipse.pde.core.pluginClasspathContributors).

The added classpath entries are only stored as long as the project classpath is and will not be considered during plug-in or feature export.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
List<IClasspathEntry>	getEntriesForDependency(BundleDescription project, BundleDescription addedDependency) Get any additional classpath entries to add to a project when a new bundle is being added to the project classpath as a dependency.
List<IClasspathEntry>	getInitialEntries(BundleDescription project) Get any additional classpath entries to add to a project when its classpath is first computed.

Method Detail

getInitialEntries

List<IClasspathEntry> getInitialEntries(BundleDescription project)

Get any additional classpath entries to add to a project when its classpath is first computed. The provided BundleDescription describes the plug-in project that the classpath is being computed for. Additional PDE model information can be obtained using PluginRegistry.findModel(BundleDescription).

Parameters:

project - the bundle descriptor for the plug-in project having its classpath computed

Returns:

additional classpath entries to add to the project, possibly empty, must not be null

getEntriesForDependency

List<IClasspathEntry> getEntriesForDependency(BundleDescription project,
                                              BundleDescription addedDependency)

Get any additional classpath entries to add to a project when a new bundle is being added to the project classpath as a dependency. The BundleDescription is provided for both the plug-in that the classpath is being calculated for and the dependency being added. The dependency may be a project in the workspace or an external bundle from the target platform.

Parameters:

project - the bundle descriptor for the plug-in project having its classpath computed

addedDependency - the bundle descriptor for the bundle being added to the classpath as a dependency

Returns:

additional classpath entries to add to the project, possibly empty, must not be null
