Interface ISourceLookupParticipant

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractSourceLookupParticipant
public interface ISourceLookupParticipant
A source lookup participant participates in source lookup by searching an ordered list of source containers for source elements corresponding to a debug artifact. For example, a participant may be asked to find source corresponding to a stack frame or breakpoint. An implementation of a source lookup participant is debug model specific, since it must convert the debug model artifact (stack frame, breakpoint, etc.), into a source name that can be recognized by a source container (ISourceContainer), to search for source elements. Source containers are generally debug model independent, whereas source lookup participants are debug model specific.

Clients may implement this interface. An abstract implementation is provided by AbstractSourceLookupParticipant, which clients should subclass.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    void
    dispose()
    Disposes this source lookup participant.
    Object[]
    findSourceElements(Object object)
    Returns a collection of source elements corresponding to the given debug artifact (for example, a stack frame or breakpoint).
    String
    getSourceName(Object object)
    Returns the source file name associated with the given debug artifact that source needs to be found for, or null if none.
    void
    init(ISourceLookupDirector director)
    Notification this participant has been added to the specified source lookup director.
    void
    sourceContainersChanged(ISourceLookupDirector director)
    Notification that the source lookup containers in the given source lookup director have changed.

  • Method Details

    • init

      void init(ISourceLookupDirector director)
      Notification this participant has been added to the specified source lookup director.
      Parameters:
      director - the source lookup director that this participant has been added to

    • findSourceElements

      Object[] findSourceElements(Object object) throws CoreException
      Returns a collection of source elements corresponding to the given debug artifact (for example, a stack frame or breakpoint). Returns an empty collection if no source elements are found. This participant's source lookup director specifies if duplicate source elements should be searched for, via isFindDuplicates(). When false the returned collection should contain at most one source element.

      If the given debug artifact is not recognized by this participant, an empty collection is returned. Otherwise, this participant generates a source name from the given artifact and performs a search for associated source elements in its source containers.

      Parameters:
      object - the debug artifact for which source needs to be found (e.g., stack frame)
      Returns:
      a collection of source elements corresponding to the given debug artifact, possibly empty
      Throws:
      CoreException - if an exception occurs while searching for source

    • getSourceName

      String getSourceName(Object object) throws CoreException
      Returns the source file name associated with the given debug artifact that source needs to be found for, or null if none.
      Parameters:
      object - the debug artifact for which source needs to be found (e.g., stack frame)
      Returns:
      the source file name associated with the given debug artifact, or null if none.
      Throws:
      CoreException - if unable to determine a source file name

    • dispose

      void dispose()
      Disposes this source lookup participant. This method is called when the source lookup director associated with this participant is disposed.

    • sourceContainersChanged

      void sourceContainersChanged(ISourceLookupDirector director)
      Notification that the source lookup containers in the given source lookup director have changed.
      Parameters:
      director - source lookup director that is directing this participant
