public class TaskList
extends ViewPart

Main class for the Task List view for displaying tasks and problem annotations on resources, and for opening an editor on the resource when the user commands.

This standard view has id "org.eclipse.ui.views.TaskList".

The workbench will automatically instantiate this class when a Task List view is needed for a workbench window. This class is not intended to be instantiated or subclassed by clients.

Constructor Detail

TaskList

public TaskList()
Creates a new task list view.

Method Detail

createPartControl

public void createPartControl(Composite parent)
Description copied from interface: IWorkbenchPart
Creates the SWT controls for this workbench part.

Clients should not call this method (the workbench calls this method when it needs to, which may be never).

For implementors this is a multi-step process:

  1. Create one or more controls within the parent.
  2. Set the parent layout as needed.
  3. Register any global actions with the IActionService.
  4. Register any popup menus with the IActionService.
  5. Register a selection provider with the ISelectionService (optional).

Specified by:
createPartControl in interface IWorkbenchPart
Specified by:
createPartControl in class WorkbenchPart
Parameters:
parent - the parent control

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from interface: IWorkbenchPart
Disposes of this workbench part.

This is the last method called on the IWorkbenchPart. At this point the part controls (if they were ever created) have been disposed as part of an SWT composite. There is no guarantee that createPartControl() has been called, so the part controls may never have been created.

Within this method a part may release any resources, fonts, images, etc.  held by this part. It is also very important to deregister all listeners from the workbench.

Clients should not call this method (the workbench calls this method at appropriate times).

Specified by:
dispose in interface IWorkbenchPart
Overrides:
dispose in class WorkbenchPart

edit

public void edit(IMarker marker)
Activates the editor on the given marker.


getResource

public IResource getResource()
Returns the resource for which the task list is showing tasks.

Returns:
the resource, possibly the workspace root

getSelection

public ISelection getSelection()
API method which returns the current selection.

Returns:
the current selection (element type: IMarker)

init

public void init(IViewSite site,
                 IMemento memento)
          throws PartInitException
Description copied from interface: IViewPart
Initializes this view with the given view site. A memento is passed to the view which contains a snapshot of the views state from a previous session. Where possible, the view should try to recreate that state within the part controls.

This method is automatically called by the workbench shortly after part construction. It marks the start of the views's lifecycle. Clients must not call this method.

Specified by:
init in interface IViewPart
Overrides:
init in class ViewPart
Parameters:
site - the view site
memento - the IViewPart state or null if there is no previous saved state
Throws:
PartInitException - if this view was not initialized successfully

saveState

public void saveState(IMemento memento)
Description copied from interface: IViewPart
Saves the object state within a memento.

Specified by:
saveState in interface IViewPart
Overrides:
saveState in class ViewPart
Parameters:
memento - a memento to receive the object state

setFocus

public void setFocus()
Description copied from interface: IWorkbenchPart
Asks this part to take focus within the workbench.

Clients should not call this method (the workbench calls this method at appropriate times).

Specified by:
setFocus in interface IWorkbenchPart
Specified by:
setFocus in class WorkbenchPart

setSelection

public void setSelection(ISelection selection,
                         boolean reveal)
API method which sets the current selection of this viewer.

Parameters:
selection - a structured selection of IMarker objects
reveal - true to reveal the selection, otherwise
