Class SearchDocument

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.jdt.core.search.SearchDocument

public abstract class SearchDocument extends Object
A search document encapsulates a content to be either indexed or searched in. A search participant creates a search document.

This class is intended to be subclassed by clients.

3.0
  • Constructor Details

    • SearchDocument

      protected SearchDocument(String documentPath, SearchParticipant participant)
      Creates a new search document. The given document path is a string that uniquely identifies the document. Most of the time it is a workspace-relative path, but it can also be a file system path, or a path inside a zip file.
      Parameters:
      documentPath - the path to the document, or null if none
      participant - the participant that creates the search document
  • Method Details

    • addIndexEntry

      public void addIndexEntry(char[] category, char[] key)
      Adds the given index entry (category and key) coming from this document to the index. This method must be called from SearchParticipant.indexDocument(SearchDocument document, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath indexPath).
      Parameters:
      category - the category of the index entry
      key - the key of the index entry
    • getByteContents

      public abstract byte[] getByteContents()
      Returns the contents of this document. Contents may be different from actual resource at corresponding document path, in case of preprocessing.

      This method must be implemented in subclasses.

      Note: some implementation may choose to cache the contents directly on the document for performance reason. However, this could induce scalability issues due to the fact that collections of documents are manipulated throughout the search operation, and cached contents would then consume lots of memory until they are all released at once in the end.

      Returns:
      the contents of this document, or null if none
    • getCharContents

      public abstract char[] getCharContents()
      Returns the contents of this document. Contents may be different from actual resource at corresponding document path due to preprocessing.

      This method must be implemented in subclasses.

      Note: some implementation may choose to cache the contents directly on the document for performance reason. However, this could induce scalability issues due to the fact that collections of documents are manipulated throughout the search operation, and cached contents would then consume lots of memory until they are all released at once in the end.

      Returns:
      the contents of this document, or null if none
    • getEncoding

      public abstract String getEncoding()
      Returns the encoding for this document.

      This method must be implemented in subclasses.

      Returns:
      the encoding for this document, or null if none
    • getParser

      public org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.SourceElementParser getParser()
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be re-implemented or extended by clients.
    • getParticipant

      public final SearchParticipant getParticipant()
      Returns the participant that created this document.
      Returns:
      the participant that created this document
    • getPath

      public final String getPath()
      Returns the path to the original document to publicly mention in index or search results. This path is a string that uniquely identifies the document. Most of the time it is a workspace-relative path, but it can also be a file system path, or a path inside a zip file.
      Returns:
      the path to the document
    • removeAllIndexEntries

      public void removeAllIndexEntries()
      Removes all index entries from the index for the given document. This method must be called from SearchParticipant.indexDocument(SearchDocument document, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath indexPath).
    • setIndex

      public void setIndex(org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.index.Index indexToSet)
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be re-implemented or extended by clients.
    • setParser

      public void setParser(org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.SourceElementParser sourceElementParser)
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be re-implemented or extended by clients.
    • requireIndexingResolvedDocument

      public void requireIndexingResolvedDocument()
      Flags the document as requiring indexing after symbol and type resolution. A participant would be asked to resolve the document via SearchParticipant.resolveDocument(org.eclipse.jdt.core.search.SearchDocument) and to index the document adding additional entries via SearchParticipant.indexResolvedDocument(org.eclipse.jdt.core.search.SearchDocument, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath)
