Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static IAstEvaluationEngine	newAstEvaluationEngine(IJavaProject project, IJavaDebugTarget target)	Creates and returns a new evaluation engine that performs evaluations by compiling expressions into abstract syntax trees (ASTs), and interpreting the AST over a JDI connection.
static IClassFileEvaluationEngine	newClassFileEvaluationEngine(IJavaProject project, IJavaDebugTarget target, File directory)	Creates and returns a new evaluation engine that performs evaluations for local Java applications by deploying class files.

Method Details

newClassFileEvaluationEngine

public static IClassFileEvaluationEngine newClassFileEvaluationEngine(IJavaProject project,
 IJavaDebugTarget target,
 File directory)

Creates and returns a new evaluation engine that performs evaluations for local Java applications by deploying class files.

Parameters:

project - the Java project in which expressions are to be compiled

target - the Java debug target in which expressions are to be evaluated

directory - the directory where support class files are deployed to assist in the evaluation. The directory must exist.

Returns:

an evaluation engine

newAstEvaluationEngine

public static IAstEvaluationEngine newAstEvaluationEngine(IJavaProject project,
 IJavaDebugTarget target)

Creates and returns a new evaluation engine that performs evaluations by compiling expressions into abstract syntax trees (ASTs), and interpreting the AST over a JDI connection. This type of evaluation engine is capable of performing remote evaluations.

Parameters:

project - the Java project in which expressions are to be compiled

target - the Java debug target in which expressions are to be evaluated

Returns:

an evaluation engine
