- All Implemented Interfaces:
IScopeContext
public final class BundleDefaultsScope extends org.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.AbstractScope
Object representing the bundle defaults scope in the Eclipse preferences hierarchy. Can be used as a context for searching for preference values (in the IPreferencesService APIs) or for determining the correct preference node to set values in the store.The bundle defaults are the defaults are default values which have been set either by the bundle's preference initializer or by a customization file supplied with the bundle.
Bundle default preferences are not persisted to disk.
The path for preferences defined in the bundle defaults scope hierarchy is as follows:
/bundle_defaults/<qualifier>
This class is not intended to be subclassed. This class may be instantiated.

Method Detail

getName
public String getName()
Description copied from interface:IScopeContext
Return the name of the scope that this context is associated with. Must not benull
.- Specified by:
getName
in interfaceIScopeContext
- Specified by:
getName
in classorg.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.AbstractScope
- Returns:
- the name of the scope
-
getNode
public IEclipsePreferences getNode(String qualifier)
Description copied from interface:IScopeContext
Return the preferences node that contains the preferences for the given qualifier ornull
if the node cannot be determined. The given qualifier must not benull
but may be a path to a sub-node within the scope.An example of a qualifier in Eclipse 2.1 would be the plug-in identifier that the preference is associated with (e.g. the "org.eclipse.core.resources" plug-in defines the "description.autobuild" preference).
This method can be used to determine the appropriate preferences node to aid in setting key/value pairs. For instance:
new InstanceScope().getNode("org.eclipse.core.resources");
returns the preference node in the instance scope where the preferences for "org.eclipse.core.resources" are stored.- Specified by:
getNode
in interfaceIScopeContext
- Overrides:
getNode
in classorg.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.AbstractScope
- Parameters:
qualifier
- a qualifier for the preference name- Returns:
- the node containing the plug-in preferences or
null

getLocation
public IPath getLocation()
Description copied from interface:IScopeContext
Return a path to a location in the file-system where clients are able to write files that will have the same sharing/scope properties as preferences defined in this scope.Implementors may return
null
if the location is not known, is unavailable, or is not applicable to this scope.- Specified by:
getLocation
in interfaceIScopeContext
- Specified by:
getLocation
in classorg.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.AbstractScope
- Returns:
- a writable location in the file system or
null
