Class ProjectClassPathModifier

java.lang.Object
  org.netbeans.api.java.project.classpath.ProjectClassPathModifier

public class ProjectClassPathModifier
extends Object

An API for project's classpaths modification. An client can use this interface to add/remove classpath element (folder, archive, library, subproject) to/from the project's classpath. Not all operations on all project's classpath are supported, if the project type does not support a modification of a given classpath the UnsupportedOperationException is thrown.

Since:

org.netbeans.modules.java.project/1 1.10

                                  UnsupportedOperationException

Adds projects into project's classpath if the artifacts are not already on it.

It's not guaranteed that the source and target project will connect in cases when each is of different class of project. Eg. Ant-based vs Maven project types. A way to check is to attempt to retrieve AntArtifact from the source and target projects..

Parameters:

projects - to be added

projectArtifact - a file whose classpath should be extended

classPathType - the type of classpath to be extended, see ClassPath

Returns:

true in case the classpath was changed, (at least one artifact was added to the classpath), the value false is returned when all the artifacts are already included on the classpath.

Throws:

IOException - in case the project metadata cannot be changed

UnsupportedOperationException - is thrown when the project does not support adding of an artifact to the classpath of the given type.

org.netbeans.modules.java.project/1 1.24

public static boolean removeAntArtifacts(AntArtifact[] artifacts,
                                         URI[] artifactElements,
                                         FileObject projectArtifact,

                                         UnsupportedOperationException

Removes artifacts (e.g. subprojects) from project's classpath if the artifacts are included on it.

Parameters:

artifacts - to be added

artifactElements - the URIs of the build output, the artifactElements has to have the same length as artifacts. (must be owned by the artifact and be relative to it)

projectArtifact - a file from whose classpath the dependent projects should be removed

classPathType - the type of classpath, ClassPath

Returns:

true in case the classpath was changed, (at least one artifact was removed from the classpath), the value false is returned when none of the artifacts was included on the classpath.

Throws:

IOException - in case the project metadata cannot be changed

UnsupportedOperationException - is thrown when the project does not support removing of an artifact from the classpath of the given type.

extenderForModifier

public static ProjectClassPathExtender extenderForModifier(ProjectClassPathModifierImplementation pcpmi)

Translates the new SPI into an instance of the old SPI. Useful to place in project lookup so that you need not bother implementing the old SPI. (Since there was not previously a matching API, old clients may directly look for the old SPI interface in a project's lookup.) Corresponding methods are called using the first reported source group (if any) and extensible classpath type (if any).

Parameters:

pcpmi - the new SPI

Returns:

a proxy fitting the old SPI

Since:

1.41

extenderForModifier(Project)

extenderForModifier

public static ProjectClassPathExtender extenderForModifier(Project p)

Similar to extenderForModifier(ProjectClassPathModifierImplementation) but permits the new SPI to be created lazily. This is useful if the project is using LookupMergerSupport.createClassPathModifierMerger() and it is thus impossible to get the final SPI instance during construction of the project's lookup. The new SPI is located at runtime on each call; if not present, false is returned from all methods.

Parameters:

p - a project whose lookup may contain a ProjectClassPathModifierImplementation

Returns:

an SPI equivalent
