Interface IStreamMerger

@Deprecated
public interface IStreamMerger

Deprecated.

Clients should use org.eclipse.team.core.mapping.IStorageMerger instead.

This interface defines a single operation for performing a three-way merge on three input streams. The merged result is written to an output stream.

Clients must implement this interface when contributing new mergers to the org.eclipse.compare.streamMergers extension point.

Since:

3.0

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final int	CONFLICT	Deprecated. Indicates that a change conflict prevented the merge from successful completion (value 1)
static final int	INTERNAL_ERROR	Deprecated. Status code describing an internal error (value 2)
static final int	OK	Deprecated. Indicates the successful completion of the merge operation (value IStatus.OK)

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
IStatus	merge(OutputStream output, String outputEncoding, InputStream ancestor, String ancestorEncoding, InputStream target, String targetEncoding, InputStream other, String otherEncoding, IProgressMonitor monitor)	Deprecated. Performs a merge operation on the given input streams and writes the merge result to the output stream.

Method Details

merge

IStatus merge(OutputStream output,
 String outputEncoding,
 InputStream ancestor,
 String ancestorEncoding,
 InputStream target,
 String targetEncoding,
 InputStream other,
 String otherEncoding,
 IProgressMonitor monitor)

Deprecated.

Performs a merge operation on the given input streams and writes the merge result to the output stream. On success a status IStatus.OK is returned, on error a status IStatus.ERROR. If the merge operation cannot deal with conflicts, the code of the error status has the value IStreamMerger.CONFLICT. For text oriented mergers the encoding for the input and output streams is honored. It is the responsibility of callers to close input and output streams.

Parameters:

output - the byte stream to which the merge result is written; the merger will not close the stream

outputEncoding - the encoding to use when writing to the output stream

ancestor - the byte stream from which the common ancestor is read

ancestorEncoding - the encoding of the ancestor input byte stream

target - the byte stream containing the target of the merge

targetEncoding - the encoding of the target input byte stream

other - the byte stream containing the target of the merge

otherEncoding - the encoding of the other input byte stream

monitor - reports progress of the merge operation

Returns:

returns the completion status of the operation
