Interface IJavaInterfaceLinkEnabler

    • Method Detail

      • isLinkCapable

        default org.eclipse.core.runtime.IStatus isLinkCapable​(LinkData data)
        Returns if this property container could potentially be link capable.

        This call is done many times during drag-drop and must be very fast and not cause too much garbage collection.

        Specified by:
        isLinkCapable in interface ILinkCapable
        Parameters:
        data - The link data.
        Returns:
        The status of capability of the operation.
      • getLinkOperations

        default java.util.Collection<ILinkOperation> getLinkOperations​(LinkData data)
        Called when the drag-drop is to be performed (link or paste-link menu item). The link-capable instance fills in only what it handles.
        Specified by:
        getLinkOperations in interface ILinkCapable
        Parameters:
        data - The link data.
        Returns:
        The list of operations required.
      • getInterfaceDefinitions

        IJavaInterfaceLinkEnabler.InterfaceDefinition[] getInterfaceDefinitions()
        Gets the interface definitions for the property used for drag-drop or linking in the Designer.
        Returns:
        An array of the definitions, not null.
