Interface IReqEngine

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultReqEngine
public interface IReqEngine
This class defines the general contract of a Requirements engine. We expect subclasses to have a public, no-argument default constructor for instantiation.

We generally expect that a call to #computeRequirements(Comparison) will complete every single Diff it finds with all required differences that can be detected on its sides.

Clients can also subclass the default implementation.

      void computeRequirements(Comparison comparison, Monitor monitor)
      This is the entry point of the requirements computing process.

      It will complete the input comparison by iterating over the differences it contains, filling in the requirements it can detect for each distinct Diff.

      Parameters:
      comparison - The comparison this engine is expected to complete.
      monitor - The monitor to report progress or to check for cancellation
