      the children of this change or an empty array if no children exist
    • setEnabled

      public void setEnabled(boolean enabled)
      Sets whether this change is enabled or not.

      Overrides:
      setEnabled in class Change
      Parameters:
      enabled - true to enable this change; false otherwise
    • initializeValidationData

      public void initializeValidationData(IProgressMonitor pm)
      Hook method to initialize some internal state to provide an adequate answer for the isValid method. This method gets called after a change or a whole change tree has been created.

      Typically this method is implemented in one of the following ways:

      • the change hooks up a listener on some delta notification mechanism and marks itself as invalid if it receives a certain delta. Is this the case the implementor must take care of unhooking the listener in dispose.
      • the change remembers some information allowing to decide if a change object is still valid when isValid is called.

      For example, a change object that manipulates the content of an IFile could either listen to resource changes and detect that the file got changed or it could remember some content stamp and compare it with the actual content stamp when isValid is called.

      The composite change sends initializeValidationData to all its children.

      Client are allowed to extend this method.

      Specified by:
      initializeValidationData in class Change
      Parameters:
      pm - a progress monitor
    • isValid

      public RefactoringStatus isValid(IProgressMonitor pm) throws CoreException
      Verifies that this change object is still valid and can be executed by calling perform. If a refactoring status with a severity of RefactoringStatus.FATAL is returned then the change has to be treated as invalid and can no longer be executed. Performing such a change produces an unspecified result and will very likely throw an exception.

      This method is also called by the UndoManager to decide if an undo or redo change is still valid and therefore can be executed.

      The composite change sends isValid to all its children until the first one returns a status with a severity of FATAL . If one of the children throws an exception the remaining children will not receive the isValid call.

      Client are allowed to extend this method.

      Specified by:
      isValid in class Change
      Parameters:
      pm - a progress monitor.
      Returns:
      a refactoring status describing the outcome of the validation check
      Throws:
      CoreException - if an error occurred during validation check. The change is to be treated as invalid if an exception occurs
    • perform

      public Change perform(IProgressMonitor pm) throws CoreException
      Performs this change. If this method is called on an invalid or disabled change object the result is unspecified. Changes should in general not respond to IProgressMonitor.isCanceled() since canceling a change tree in the middle of its execution leaves the workspace in a half changed state.

      The composite change sends perform to all its enabled children. If one of the children throws an exception the remaining children will not receive the perform call. In this case the method getUndoUntilException can be used to get an undo object containing the undo objects of all executed children.

      Client are allowed to extend this method.

      Specified by:
      perform in class Change
      Parameters:
      pm - a progress monitor
      Returns:
      the undo change for this change object or null if no undo is provided
      Throws:
      CoreException - if an error occurred during change execution
    • internalHandleException

      protected void internalHandleException(Change change, Throwable t)
      Note: this is an internal method and should not be overridden outside of the refactoring framework.

      The method gets called if one of the changes managed by this composite change generates an exception when performed.

      Parameters:
      change - the change that caused the exception
      t - the exception itself
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
    • internalContinueOnCancel

      protected boolean internalContinueOnCancel()
      Note: this is an internal method and should not be overridden outside of the refactoring framework.

      The method gets called if one of the changes managed by this composite change generates an operation canceled exception when performed.

      Returns:
      true if performing the change should continue on cancel; otherwise false
      Since:
      3.1
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
    • internalProcessOnCancel

      protected boolean internalProcessOnCancel(Change change)
      Note: this is an internal method and should not be overridden outside of the refactoring framework.

      The method gets called if the execution of this change got canceled, but internalContinueOnCancel returned true.

      Parameters:
      change - the change to perform
      Returns:
      true if the given change should be performed although the execution got canceled; otherwise false
      Since:
      3.1
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
    • dispose

      public void dispose()
      Disposes this change. Subclasses that override this method typically unregister listeners which got registered during the call to initializeValidationData.

      Subclasses may override this method.

      The composite change sends dispose to all its children. It is guaranteed that all children receive the dispose call.

      Overrides:
      dispose in class Change
    • getUndoUntilException

      public Change getUndoUntilException()
      Returns the undo object containing all undo changes of those children that got successfully executed while performing this change. Returns null if all changes were executed successfully or if there's nothing to undo.

      This method is not intended to be overridden or extended.

      Returns:
      the undo object containing all undo changes of those children that got successfully executed while performing this change, or null if all changes were executed successfully or if there's nothing to undo.
    • createUndoChange

      protected Change createUndoChange(Change[] childUndos)
      Hook to create an undo change. The method should be overridden by clients which provide their own composite change to create a corresponding undo change.
      Parameters:
      childUndos - the child undo. The undo edits appear in the list in the reverse order of their execution. So the first change in the array is the undo change of the last change that got executed.
      Returns:
      the undo change
    • getAffectedObjects

      public Object[] getAffectedObjects()
      Description copied from class: Change
      Returns the elements affected by this change or null if the affected elements cannot be determined. Returns an empty array if the change doesn't modify any elements.

      This default implementation returns null to indicate that the affected elements are unknown. Subclasses should reimplement this method if they can compute the set of affected elements.

      Overrides:
      getAffectedObjects in class Change
      Returns:
      the elements affected by this change or null if the affected elements cannot be determined
    • getModifiedElement

      public Object getModifiedElement()
      Description copied from class: Change
      Returns the element modified by this Change. The method may return null if the change isn't related to an element.
      Specified by:
      getModifiedElement in class Change
      Returns:
      the element modified by this change
    • getDescriptor

      public ChangeDescriptor getDescriptor()
      Returns a descriptor of this change.

      Subclasses of changes created by Refactoring.createChange(IProgressMonitor) should override this method to return a RefactoringChangeDescriptor. A change tree created by a particular refactoring is supposed to contain at most one change which returns a refactoring descriptor. Refactorings usually return an instance of CompositeChange in their Refactoring.createChange(IProgressMonitor) method which implements this method. The refactoring framework searches the change tree top-down until a refactoring descriptor is found.

      Overrides:
      getDescriptor in class Change
      Returns:
      a descriptor of this change, or null if this change does not provide a change descriptor.

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
