Package org.eclipse.update.configurator

Interface IPlatformConfiguration

  • @Deprecated
public interface IPlatformConfiguration
    Deprecated.
    The org.eclipse.update component has been replaced by Equinox p2. This API will be deleted in a future release. See bug 311590 for details.
    Platform configuration interface. Represents the runtime configuration used by the Eclipse platform. Any configuration changes do not take effect until next startup of the Eclipse platform.

    Do not provide implementations of this interface or its nested interfaces. Use the factory methods on IPlatformConfigurationFactory to create a IPlatformConfiguration, then use the factory methods on the IPlatformConfiguration to create instances of ISiteEntry,IFeatureEntry and ISitePolicy.

    Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
