All Implemented Interfaces:

IReconciler

Direct Known Subclasses:

MonoReconciler, Reconciler

public abstract class AbstractReconciler

extends Object

implements IReconciler

Abstract implementation of IReconciler. The reconciler listens to input document changes as well as changes of the input document of the text viewer it is installed on. Depending on its configuration it manages the received change notifications in a queue folding neighboring or overlapping changes together. The reconciler processes the dirty regions as a background activity after having waited for further changes for the configured duration of time. A reconciler is started using its install method. As a first step initialProcess is executed in the background. Then, the reconciling thread waits for changes that need to be reconciled. A reconciler can be resumed by calling forceReconciling independent from the existence of actual changes. This mechanism is for subclasses only. It is the clients responsibility to stop a reconciler using its uninstall method. Unstopped reconcilers do not free their resources.

It is subclass responsibility to specify how dirty regions are processed.

2.0

void	setDelay(int delay) Tells the reconciler how long it should wait for further text changes before activating the appropriate reconciling strategies.
void	setIsIncrementalReconciler(boolean isIncremental) Tells the reconciler whether any of the available reconciling strategies is interested in getting detailed dirty region information or just in the fact the the document has been changed.
void	setProgressMonitor(IProgressMonitor monitor) Sets the progress monitor of this reconciler.

Constructor Detail

AbstractReconciler

protected AbstractReconciler()

Creates a new reconciler without configuring it.

Method Detail

process

protected abstract void process(DirtyRegion dirtyRegion)

Processes a dirty region. If the dirty region is null the whole document is consider being dirty. The dirty region is partitioned by the document and each partition is handed over to a reconciling strategy registered for the partition's content type.

Parameters:

dirtyRegion - the dirty region to be processed

reconcilerDocumentChanged

protected abstract void reconcilerDocumentChanged(IDocument newDocument)

Hook called when the document whose contents should be reconciled has been changed, i.e., the input document of the text viewer this reconciler is installed on. Usually, subclasses use this hook to inform all their reconciling strategies about the change.

Parameters:

newDocument - the new reconciler document

setDelay

public void setDelay(int delay)

Tells the reconciler how long it should wait for further text changes before activating the appropriate reconciling strategies.

Parameters:

delay - the duration in milli seconds of a change collection period.

setIsIncrementalReconciler

public void setIsIncrementalReconciler(boolean isIncremental)

Tells the reconciler whether any of the available reconciling strategies is interested in getting detailed dirty region information or just in the fact the the document has been changed. In the second case, the reconciling can not incrementally be pursued.

Parameters:

isIncremental - indicates whether this reconciler will be configured with incremental reconciling strategies

See Also:

DirtyRegion, IReconcilingStrategy

setProgressMonitor

public void setProgressMonitor(IProgressMonitor monitor)

Sets the progress monitor of this reconciler.

Parameters:

monitor - the monitor to be used

isIncrementalReconciler

protected boolean isIncrementalReconciler()

Returns whether any of the reconciling strategies is interested in detailed dirty region information.

Returns:

whether this reconciler is incremental

See Also:

IReconcilingStrategy

getDocument

protected IDocument getDocument()

Returns the input document of the text viewer this reconciler is installed on.

Returns:

the reconciler document

getTextViewer

protected ITextViewer getTextViewer()

Returns the text viewer this reconciler is installed on.

Returns:

the text viewer this reconciler is installed on

getProgressMonitor

protected IProgressMonitor getProgressMonitor()

Returns the progress monitor of this reconciler.

Returns:

the progress monitor of this reconciler

install

public void install(ITextViewer textViewer)

Description copied from interface: IReconciler

Installs the reconciler on the given text viewer. After this method has been finished, the reconciler is operational. I.e., it works without requesting further client actions until uninstall is called.

Specified by:

install in interface IReconciler

Parameters:

textViewer - the viewer on which the reconciler is installed

uninstall

public void uninstall()

Description copied from interface: IReconciler

Removes the reconciler from the text viewer it has previously been installed on.

Specified by:

uninstall in interface IReconciler

initialProcess

protected void initialProcess()

This method is called on startup of the background activity. It is called only once during the life time of the reconciler. Clients may reimplement this method.

forceReconciling

protected void forceReconciling()

Forces the reconciler to reconcile the structure of the whole document. Clients may extend this method.

reconcilerReset

protected void reconcilerReset()

Hook that is called after the reconciler thread has been reset.
