    • ImportOperation

      public ImportOperation(IPath containerPath, Object source, IImportStructureProvider provider, IOverwriteQuery overwriteImplementor)
      Creates a new operation that recursively imports the entire contents of the specified root file system object.

      The source parameter represents the root file system object to import. All contents of this object are imported. Valid types for this parameter are determined by the supplied IImportStructureProvider.

      The provider parameter allows this operation to deal with the source object in an abstract way. This operation calls methods on the provider and the provider in turn calls specific methods on the source object.

      The default import behavior is to recreate the complete container structure for the contents of the root file system object in their destination. If setCreateContainerStructure is set to false then the container structure created is relative to the root file system object.

      Parameters:
      containerPath - the full path of the destination container within the workspace
      source - the root file system object to import
      provider - the file system structure provider to use
      overwriteImplementor - the overwrite strategy to use
    • ImportOperation

      public ImportOperation(IPath containerPath, Object source, IImportStructureProvider provider, IOverwriteQuery overwriteImplementor, List filesToImport)
      Creates a new operation that imports specific file system objects. In this usage context, the specified source file system object is used by the operation solely to determine the destination container structure of the file system objects being imported.

      The source parameter represents the root file system object to import. Valid types for this parameter are determined by the supplied IImportStructureProvider. The contents of the source which are to be imported are specified in the filesToImport parameter.

      The provider parameter allows this operation to deal with the source object in an abstract way. This operation calls methods on the provider and the provider in turn calls specific methods on the source object.

      The filesToImport parameter specifies what contents of the root file system object are to be imported.

      The default import behavior is to recreate the complete container structure for the file system objects in their destination. If setCreateContainerStructure is set to false, then the container structure created for each of the file system objects is relative to the supplied root file system object.

      Parameters:
      containerPath - the full path of the destination container within the workspace
      source - the root file system object to import from
      provider - the file system structure provider to use
      overwriteImplementor - the overwrite strategy to use
      filesToImport - the list of file system objects to be imported (element type: Object)
    • ImportOperation

      public ImportOperation(IPath containerPath, IImportStructureProvider provider, IOverwriteQuery overwriteImplementor, List filesToImport)
      Creates a new operation that imports specific file system objects.

      The provider parameter allows this operation to deal with the source object in an abstract way. This operation calls methods on the provider and the provider in turn calls specific methods on the source object.

      The filesToImport parameter specifies what file system objects are to be imported.

      The default import behavior is to recreate the complete container structure for the file system objects in their destination. If setCreateContainerStructure is set to false, then no container structure is created for each of the file system objects.

      Parameters:
      containerPath - the full path of the destination container within the workspace
      provider - the file system structure provider to use
      overwriteImplementor - the overwrite strategy to use
      filesToImport - the list of file system objects to be imported (element type: Object)
  • Method Details

    • execute

      protected void execute(IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)
      Description copied from class: WorkspaceModifyOperation
      Performs the steps that are to be treated as a single logical workspace change.

      Subclasses must implement this method.

      Specified by:
      execute in class WorkspaceModifyOperation
      Parameters:
      progressMonitor - the progress monitor to use to display progress and field user requests to cancel
    • getStatus

      public IStatus getStatus()
      Returns the status of the import operation. If there were any errors, the result is a status object containing individual status objects for each error. If there were no errors, the result is a status object with error code OK.
      Returns:
      the status
    • setContext

      public void setContext(Shell shell)
      Sets the context for use by the VCM provider to prompt the user for check-out of files.
      Parameters:
      shell - context for use by the VCM provider to prompt user for check-out. The user will not be prompted if set to null.
