Class MultiStateTextFileChange

All Implemented Interfaces:
IAdaptable

public class MultiStateTextFileChange extends TextEditBasedChange
A multi state text file change is a special change object that applies a sequence of text edit trees to a document. The multi state text file change manages the text edit trees.

A multi state text file change offers the ability to access the original content of the document as well as creating a preview of the change. The edit trees get copied when creating any kind of preview. Therefore no region updating on the original edit trees takes place when requesting a preview (for more information on region updating see class TextEdit. If region tracking is required for a preview it can be enabled via a call to the method setKeepPreviewEdits. If enabled the multi state text file change keeps the copied edit trees executed for the preview allowing clients to map an original edit to an executed edit. The executed edit can then be used to determine its position in the preview.

  • Method Details

    • addChange

      public final void addChange(TextChange change)
      Adds a new text change to this composite change.

      The text change which is added is not changed in any way. Rather the contents of the text change are retrieved and stored internally in this composite text change.

      Parameters:
      change - the text change to add
    • dispose

      public final void dispose()
      Description copied from class: Change
      Disposes this change. Subclasses that override this method typically unregister listeners which got registered during the call to initializeValidationData.

      Subclasses may override this method.

      Overrides:
      dispose in class Change
    • getCurrentContent

      public final String getCurrentContent(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException
      Description copied from class: TextEditBasedChange
      Returns the current content of the document this text change is associated with.
      Specified by:
      getCurrentContent in class TextEditBasedChange
      Parameters:
      monitor - a progress monitor to report progress or null if no progress reporting is desired
      Returns:
      the current content of the text edit change

      Description copied from class: TextEditBasedChange
      Returns the current content of the text edit change clipped to a specific region. The region is determined as follows:
      • if expandRegionToFullLine is false then the parameter region determines the clipping.
      • if expandRegionToFullLine is true then the region determined by the parameter region is extended to cover full lines.
      • if surroundingLines > 0 then the given number of surrounding lines is added. The value of surroundingLines is only considered if expandRegionToFullLine is true
      Specified by:
      getCurrentContent in class TextEditBasedChange
      Parameters:
      region - the starting region for the text to be returned
      expand - if true is passed the region is extended to cover full lines
      surround - the number of surrounding lines to be added to the clipping region. Is only considered if expandRegionToFullLine is true
      monitor - a progress monitor to report progress or null if no progress reporting is desired
      Returns:
      the current content of the text edit change clipped to a region determined by the given parameters.

    • initializeValidationData

      public final void initializeValidationData(IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Description copied from class: Change
      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.

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

      Description copied from class: Change
      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.

      Specified by:
      isValid in class Change
      Parameters:
      monitor - 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
      OperationCanceledException - if the validation check got canceled
    • needsSaving

      public final boolean needsSaving()
      Does the change need saving?
      Returns:
      true if it needs saving, false otherwise
    • perform

      public final Change perform(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException
      Description copied from class: Change
      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.
      Specified by:
      perform in class Change
      Parameters:
      monitor - 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
    • setKeepPreviewEdits

      public final void setKeepPreviewEdits(boolean keep)
      Description copied from class: TextEditBasedChange
      Controls whether the text edit change should keep executed edits during preview generation.
      Overrides:
      setKeepPreviewEdits in class TextEditBasedChange
      Parameters:
      keep - if true executed preview edits are kept
    • setSaveMode

      public final void setSaveMode(int mode)
      Sets the save mode.
      Parameters:
      mode - The mode to set
