    • canCreateUI

      default boolean canCreateUI(LinkData data)
      Method returning if this property could potentially be (action, field or table) or contain (group) properties that can create UI components when drag-dropped.
      Parameters:
      data - The link data.
      Returns:
      true if the result would lead to UI creations, false otherwise.

    • addCreateUILinkOperations

      Adds all possible operations that could be done in a link operation for UI creation from VS.
      Parameters:
      data - The link data.
      linkOps - List of link operations is filled in when operations are found.

    • 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.

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

    • getLinkOperations

      default 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.

      Specified by:
      getDragDropText in interface ILinkCapable
