Interface IQuickFixableAnnotation

All Known Implementing Classes:
MarkerAnnotation, SpellingAnnotation

public interface IQuickFixableAnnotation

Allows an annotation to tell whether there are quick fixes for it and to cache that state.

Caching the state is important to improve overall performance as calling IQuickAssistAssistant.canFix(Annotation) can be expensive.

This interface can be implemented by clients.

Since:
3.2
