Eclipse Platform Build Notes 3.2 Stream
LTK Core Refactoring
3.2 M5, January 31, 2006
API
LTK Core has started to leverage the new ResourceChangeValidator API released in Core/Resources.
Plug/ins that implement a participant are requested to add their resource changes to the pre-delta.
Participants can do so using the new class ResourceChangeChecker which superceeds the old
ValidateEditChecker. The new checker can be accessed via the OperationContext passed to the
RefactoringParticipant#checkFinalConditions method (analog to the olde ValidateEditChecker).

Implementation Changes
The refactoring framework has been extended by scripting facilities. Refactorings which support scripting can now be exported
from the refactoring history and saved in a refactoring script. These scripts can then be reapplied on a remote workspace.
There is a new extension point org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.refactoringContributions
which allows refactoring implementors
to contribute a refactoring contribution, in order to make their refactorings scriptable. Refactorings contributed
by this extension point appear in the platform refactoring history and are exportable in refactoring scripts.
Please consult the documentation of the extension point for further information.

Implementation Changes
Preliminary support for a refactoring-aware logical model support has been added:
Note: This API is considered experimental and may undergo several changes until its final release.
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.model.AbstractRefactoringModelProvider
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.model.RefactoringDescriptorResourceMapping
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.model.RefactoringHistoryResourceMapping

Implementation Changes
Preliminary support for a global refactoring history has been added:
Note: This API is considered experimental and may undergo several changes until its final release.
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.history.IRefactoringExecutionListener / RefactoringExecutionEvent
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.history.IRefactoringHistoryListener / RefactoringHistoryEvent
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.history.IRefactoringHistoryService
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.RefactoringDescriptorProxy (former RefactoringDescriptorHandle)
- org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.IInitializableRefactoringComponent
3.2 M2, September 6, 2005
Implementation Changes
The management of a group category set has been moved from the TextEditBasedChangeGroup
to a special text edit group CategorizedTextEditGroup
.
3.2 M2, August 30, 2005
Implementation Changes
Support for group categories for text edit based changes has been added. This support
enables the refactoring preview wizard to filter the change tree against certain
kinds of changes (for example all textual change in comments and strings). The relevant
new API classes are: GroupCategory
, GroupCategorySet
as well as
the group category specific API additions on TextEditBasedChange
and
TextEditBasedChangeGroup
.
