Deprecated.

In 3.0, the debug platform provides source lookup facilities that should be used in place of the Java source lookup support provided in 2.0. The new facilities provide a source lookup director that coordinates source lookup among a set of participants, searching a set of source containers. See the following packages: org.eclipse.debug.core.sourcelookup and org.eclipse.debug.core.sourcelookup.containers. This interface has been replaced by org.eclipse.debug.core.sourcelookup.ISourceContainer.

A repository of source code. A source location is capable of retrieving source elements.

For example, a source location could be a project, zip/archive file, or a directory in the file system.

This interface is may be implemented by clients.

Since:

2.0

Method Details

findSourceElement

Object findSourceElement(String name)
                  throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Deprecated.

Returns an object representing the source code for a type with the specified name, or null if none could be found. The name is a fully qualified type name, and may contain the '$' character when referring to inner types. For example, java.lang.String. The source element returned is implementation specific - for example, a resource, a local file, a zip file entry, etc.

Parameters:

name - fully qualified name of the type for which source is being searched for

Returns:

source element

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException - if an exception occurs while searching for the specified source element

getMemento

String getMemento()
           throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Deprecated.

Returns a memento for this source location from which this source location can be reconstructed.

Returns:

a memento for this source location

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException - if unable to create a memento

initializeFrom

void initializeFrom(String memento)
             throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Deprecated.

Initializes this source location from the given memento.

Parameters:

memento - a memento generated by this source location

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException - if unable to initialize this source location
