Interface IRefactoringHistoryService

public interface IRefactoringHistoryService
Interface for a refactoring history service. A refactoring history service provides methods to register refactoring history listeners, refactoring execution listeners and facilities to query the global refactoring history index for specific refactoring histories. Additionally, methods are provided which read or write refactoring information. The refactoring history service only returns refactorings which have contributed a refactoring descriptor via their change object.

An instance of a refactoring history service may be obtained by calling RefactoringCore.getHistoryService().

All time stamps are measured as the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

  • Method Details

    • addExecutionListener

      void addExecutionListener(IRefactoringExecutionListener listener)
      Adds the specified refactoring execution listener to this service.

      If the listener is already registered with the service, nothing happens.

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to add

    • addHistoryListener

      void addHistoryListener(IRefactoringHistoryListener listener)
      Adds the specified refactoring history listener to this service.

      If the listener is already registered with the service, nothing happens.

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to add

    • connect

      void connect()
      Connects the refactoring history service to the workbench's operation history if necessary and increments an internal counter.

      If the service is already connected, nothing happens.

      Every call to connect() must be balanced with a corresponding call to disconnect().

    • disconnect

      void disconnect()
      Disconnects the refactoring history service from the workbench's operation history if necessary and decrements an internal counter.

      If the service is not connected, nothing happens. If the service is connected, all resources acquired since the corresponding call to connect() are released.

      Every call to disconnect() must be balanced with a corresponding call to connect().

    • getProjectHistory

      RefactoringHistory getProjectHistory(IProject project, IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Returns a project refactoring history for the specified project.

      Clients must connect to the refactoring history service first before calling this method.

      Parameters:
      project - the project, which must exist
      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Returns:
      the project refactoring history

    • getProjectHistory

      RefactoringHistory getProjectHistory(IProject project, long start, long end, int flags, IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Returns a project refactoring history for the specified project.

      Clients must connect to the refactoring history service first before calling this method.

      Note that calling this method with a flag argument unequal to RefactoringDescriptor#NONE may result in a performance degradation, since the actual descriptors have to be eagerly resolved. This in turn results in faster execution of any subsequent calls to RefactoringDescriptorProxy.requestDescriptor(IProgressMonitor) which try to request a descriptor from the returned refactoring history.

      Parameters:
      project - the project, which must exist
      start - the start time stamp, inclusive
      end - the end time stamp, inclusive
      flags - the refactoring descriptor flags which must be present in order to be returned in the refactoring history object, or RefactoringDescriptor#NONE
      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Returns:
      the project refactoring history

    • getRefactoringHistory

      RefactoringHistory getRefactoringHistory(IProject[] projects, IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Returns the combined refactoring history for the specified projects.

      Clients must connect to the refactoring history service first before calling this method.

      Parameters:
      projects - the projects, which must exist
      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Returns:
      the combined refactoring history

    • getRefactoringHistory

      RefactoringHistory getRefactoringHistory(IProject[] projects, long start, long end, int flags, IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Returns the combined refactoring history for the specified projects.

      Clients must connect to the refactoring history service first before calling this method.

      Note that calling this method with a flag argument unequal to RefactoringDescriptor#NONE may result in a performance degradation, since the actual descriptors have to be eagerly resolved. This in turn results in faster execution of any subsequent calls to RefactoringDescriptorProxy.requestDescriptor(IProgressMonitor) which try to request a descriptor from the returned refactoring history.

      Parameters:
      projects - the projects, which must exist
      start - the start time stamp, inclusive
      end - the end time stamp, inclusive
      flags - the refactoring descriptor flags which must be present in order to be returned in the refactoring history object, or RefactoringDescriptor#NONE
      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Returns:
      the combined refactoring history

    • getWorkspaceHistory

      RefactoringHistory getWorkspaceHistory(IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Returns the workspace refactoring history.

      Clients must connect to the refactoring history service first before calling this method.

      Parameters:
      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Returns:
      the workspace refactoring history

    • getWorkspaceHistory

      RefactoringHistory getWorkspaceHistory(long start, long end, IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Returns the workspace refactoring history.

      Clients must connect to the refactoring history service first before calling this method.

      Parameters:
      start - the start time stamp, inclusive
      end - the end time stamp, inclusive
      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Returns:
      the workspace refactoring history

    • readRefactoringHistory

      RefactoringHistory readRefactoringHistory(InputStream stream, int flags) throws CoreException
      Reads a refactoring history from the input stream.

      The resulting refactoring history contains resolved refactoring descriptors and should not be held on to.

      It is the responsibility of the caller to close the input stream.

      Parameters:
      stream - a UTF-8 input stream where to read the refactoring history from
      flags - the refactoring descriptor flags to filter the refactoring descriptors
      Returns:
      a refactoring history containing the filtered refactoring descriptors
      Throws:
      CoreException - if an error occurs while reading form the input stream. Reasons include:
      • The input stream contains no version information for the refactoring history.
      • The input stream contains an unsupported version of a refactoring history.
      • An I/O error occurs while reading the refactoring history from the input stream.

      void writeRefactoringDescriptors(RefactoringDescriptorProxy[] proxies, OutputStream stream, int flags, boolean time, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException
      Writes the specified refactoring descriptor proxies to the output stream. Refactoring descriptor proxies which cannot be resolved are automatically skipped.

      It is the responsibility of the caller to close the output stream.

      monitor - the progress monitor to use, or null if no progress monitoring or cancelation is desired
      Throws:
      CoreException - if an error occurs while writing to the output stream. Reasons include:
      • The refactoring descriptors have an illegal format, contain illegal arguments or otherwise illegal information.
      • An I/O error occurs while writing the refactoring descriptors to the output stream.

    • writeRefactoringSession

      void writeRefactoringSession(RefactoringSessionDescriptor descriptor, OutputStream stream, boolean time) throws CoreException
