    • createControl

      public void createControl(Composite parent)

    • createFile

      @Deprecated protected void createFile(IFile fileHandle, InputStream contents, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException
      Deprecated.
      As of 3.3, use or override createNewFile() which uses the undoable operation support. To supply customized file content for a subclass, use getInitialContents().
      Creates a file resource given the file handle and contents.
      Parameters:
      fileHandle - the file handle to create a file resource with
      contents - the initial contents of the new file resource, or null if none (equivalent to an empty stream)
      monitor - the progress monitor to show visual progress with
      Throws:
      CoreException - if the operation fails
      OperationCanceledException - if the operation is canceled

    • createFileHandle

      protected IFile createFileHandle(IPath filePath)
      Creates a file resource handle for the file with the given workspace path. This method does not create the file resource; this is the responsibility of createFile.
      Parameters:
      filePath - the path of the file resource to create a handle for
      Returns:
      the new file resource handle
      See Also:

    • createLinkTarget

      protected void createLinkTarget()
      Creates the link target path if a link target has been specified.

    • createNewFile

      public IFile createNewFile()
      Creates a new file resource in the selected container and with the selected name. Creates any missing resource containers along the path; does nothing if the container resources already exist.

      In normal usage, this method is invoked after the user has pressed Finish on the wizard; the enablement of the Finish button implies that all controls on on this page currently contain valid values.

      Note that this page caches the new file once it has been successfully created; subsequent invocations of this method will answer the same file resource without attempting to create it again.

      This method should be called within a workspace modify operation since it creates resources.

      Returns:
      the created file resource, or null if the file was not created

    • createRule

      @Deprecated protected ISchedulingRule createRule(IResource resource)
      Deprecated.
      As of 3.3, scheduling rules are provided by the undoable operation that this page creates and executes.
      Returns the scheduling rule to use when creating the resource at the given container path. The rule should be the creation rule for the top-most non-existing parent.
      Parameters:
      resource - The resource being created
      Returns:
      The scheduling rule for creating the given resource
      Since:
      3.1

      Returns the current full path of the containing resource as entered or selected by the user, or its anticipated initial value.
      Returns:

      (2) File name field text length is greater than 0
      (3) File name field text does not already end with a '.' and the file extension specified (case sensitive)

      The file extension will not be reflected in the actual file name field until the file name field loses focus.
