java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.UIServices
public abstract class UIServices extends Object
Service used for prompting for user information from within lower level code. Implementors of this service are responsible for registering the service. It is possible that the UIServices service is requested very early in the startup sequence for an application. For example, applications that check for updates during startup will trigger the service lookup if a server requiring authentication is detected. For this reason, implementors of UIServices should ensure that the bundle providing the service is partitioned appropriately.
Since:
2.0

      The authentication result, or null, or AUTHENTICATION_PROMPT_CANCELED

    • getUsernamePassword

      Opens a UI prompt for authentication details when cached or remembered details where not accepted.
      Parameters:
      location - the location requiring login details
      previousInfo - - the previously used authentication details - may not be null.
      Returns:
      The authentication result, or null, or AUTHENTICATION_PROMPT_CANCELED

    • getTrustInfo

      public abstract UIServices.TrustInfo getTrustInfo(Certificate[][] untrustedChain, String[] unsignedDetail)
      Opens a UI prompt to capture information about trusted content.
      Parameters:
      untrustedChain - - an array of certificate chains for which there is no current trust anchor. May be null, which means there are no untrusted certificate chains.
      unsignedDetail - - an array of strings, where each String describes content that is not signed. May be null, which means there is no unsigned content
      Returns:
      the TrustInfo that describes the user's choices for trusting certificates and unsigned content.
      Implementation Requirements:
      Implementors should also override getTrustInfo(Certificate[][], Collection, String[]).

    • showInformationMessage

      public void showInformationMessage(String title, String text, String linkText)
      Shows the given message to the user. It depends on the concrete implementation how this is done, e.g. in a dialog, on the console, or in other ways.

      Parameters:
      unTrustedCertificateChains - - an array of certificate chains for which there is no current trust anchor. May be null, which means there are no untrusted certificate chains.
