Parameters:

file - the file resource

Method Detail

getPropertyDescriptors

public IPropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors()

Description copied from interface: IPropertySource

Returns the list of property descriptors for this property source. The getPropertyValue and setPropertyValue methods are used to read and write the actual property values by specifying the property ids from these property descriptors.

Implementors should cache the descriptors as they will be asked for the descriptors with any edit/update. Since descriptors provide cell editors, returning the same descriptors if possible allows for efficient updating.

Specified by:

getPropertyDescriptors in interface IPropertySource

Overrides:

getPropertyDescriptors in class ResourcePropertySource

Returns:

the property descriptors

getPropertyValue

public Object getPropertyValue(Object key)

Description copied from interface: IPropertySource

Returns the value of the property with the given id if it has one. Returns null if this source if the property's value is null value or if this source does not have the specified property.

Specified by:

getPropertyValue in interface IPropertySource

Overrides:

getPropertyValue in class ResourcePropertySource

Parameters:

key - the id of the property being set

Returns:

the value of the property, or null
