Interface IProcess

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable, ITerminate

All Known Implementing Classes:

RuntimeProcess

public interface IProcess
extends IAdaptable, ITerminate

A process represents a program running in normal (non-debug) mode. Processes support setting and getting of client defined attributes. This way, clients can annotate a process with any extra information important to them. For example, classpath annotations, or command line arguments used to launch the process may be important to a client.

Clients may implement this interface, however, the debug plug-in provides an implementation of this interface for a java.lang.Process.

Field Detail

ATTR_CMDLINE

static final String ATTR_CMDLINE

Attribute key for a common, optional, process property. The value of this attribute is the command line a process was launched with.

Since:

2.1

ATTR_PROCESS_TYPE

static final String ATTR_PROCESS_TYPE

Attribute key for a common, optional, process property. The value of this attribute is an identifier for the type of this process. Process types are client defined - whoever creates a process may define its type. For example, a process type could be "java", "javadoc", or "ant".

Since:

2.1

ATTR_PROCESS_LABEL

static final String ATTR_PROCESS_LABEL

Attribute key for a common, optional, process property. The value of this attribute specifies an alternate dynamic label for a process, displayed by the console.

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

getLabel

String getLabel()

Returns a human-readable label for this process.

Returns:

a label for this process

getLaunch

ILaunch getLaunch()

Returns the launch this element originated from.

Returns:

the launch this process is contained in

getStreamsProxy

IStreamsProxy getStreamsProxy()

Returns a proxy to the standard input, output, and error streams for this process, or null if not supported.

Returns:

a streams proxy, or null if not supported

setAttribute

void setAttribute(String key,
                  String value)

Sets the value of a client defined attribute.

Parameters:

key - the attribute key

value - the attribute value

getAttribute

String getAttribute(String key)

Returns the value of a client defined attribute.

Parameters:

key - the attribute key

Returns:

value the String attribute value, or null if undefined

getExitValue

int getExitValue()
          throws DebugException

Returns the exit value of this process. Conventionally, 0 indicates normal termination.

Returns:

the exit value of this process
