Package org.eclipse.jdt.launching

Interface IRuntimeClasspathProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:
StandardClasspathProvider, StandardSourcePathProvider
public interface IRuntimeClasspathProvider
A classpath provider computes an unresolved classpath for a launch configuration, and resolves classpath entries for a launch configuration. A classpath provider is defined as an extension of type org.eclipse.jdt.launching.classpathProviders.

A provider is registered with an identifier that can be referenced by a launch configuration. A classpath provider is consulted to compute a classpath or source lookup path when a launch configuration references a provider in one or both of the following attributes:

  • ATTR_CLASSPATH_PROVIDER
  • ATTR_SOURCE_PATH_PROVIDER

A provider extension is defined in plugin.xml. Following is an example definition of a runtime classpath provider extension. 

 <extension point="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.classpathProviders">
   <classpathProvider>
      id="com.example.ExampleClasspathProvider"
      class="com.example.ExampleClasspathProviderImpl"
   </classpathProvider>
 </extension>
The attributes are specified as follows:
  • id specifies a unique identifier for this extension. This identifier may be used to reference a provider on one of the launch configuration attributes mentioned above.
  • class specifies the fully qualified name of the Java class that implements IRuntimeClasspathProvider.

Clients may implement this interface.

    • computeUnresolvedClasspath

      IRuntimeClasspathEntry[] computeUnresolvedClasspath(org.eclipse.debug.core.ILaunchConfiguration configuration) throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException
      Computes and returns an unresolved classpath for the given launch configuration. Variable and container entries are not resolved.
      Parameters:
      configuration - launch configuration
      Returns:
      unresolved path
      Throws:
      org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException - if unable to compute a path

    • resolveClasspath

      IRuntimeClasspathEntry[] resolveClasspath(IRuntimeClasspathEntry[] entries, org.eclipse.debug.core.ILaunchConfiguration configuration) throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException
      Returns the resolved path corresponding to the given path, in the context of the given launch configuration. Variable and container entries are resolved. The returned (resolved) path need not have the same number of entries as the given (unresolved) path.
      Parameters:
      entries - entries to resolve
      configuration - launch configuration context to resolve in
      Returns:
      resolved path
      Throws:
      org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException - if unable to resolve a path
