  • Method Details

    • getAllReferencedBuildConfigs

      IBuildConfiguration[] getAllReferencedBuildConfigs()
      Gets a array of build configurations that were built before this build configuration, as part of the current top-level build invocation.
      Returns:
      an array of all referenced build configurations that have been built in the current build; never null.

    • getAllReferencingBuildConfigs

      IBuildConfiguration[] getAllReferencingBuildConfigs()
      Gets a array of build configurations that will be built after this build configuration, as part of the current top-level build invocation.

      If the array is empty, this configuration is the last in the build chain.

      Returns:
      an array of all referencing build configurations that will be built in the current build; never null.

    • getRequestedConfigs

      IBuildConfiguration[] getRequestedConfigs()
      Returns the full array of configurations that were requested to be built by the API user. These configurations may be anywhere in the build order (depending on how the build graph has been flattened).

      This array won't include any build configurations being built by virtue of being referenced from a requested build configuration.

      May return the empty array if this is a top-level workspace build.
      Returns:
      an array of configurations that were requested to be built.
