public abstract class RefactoringContribution extends Object
Partial implementation of refactoring contribution objects which are capable of creating refactoring descriptors or refactoring arguments.Clients which would like to add refactoring history and refactoring scripting support to a refactoring are required to register a subclass of
RefactoringContribution
with the extension pointorg.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.refactoringContributions
to participate in the refactoring services. Refactoring contributions are stateless objects. They are instantiated on demand by the refactoring framework in the following cases:- When a refactoring script is executed, the refactoring framework
retrieves a corresponding refactoring contribution for each refactoring
persisted in the script and calls
createDescriptor(String, String, String, String, Map, int)
with the appropriate arguments read from the refactoring script to obtain a language-specific refactoring descriptor. This refactoring descriptor is then used to dynamically construct the corresponding refactoring object and to initialize the refactoring object afterwards. The returned refactoring object is completely initialized and ready to be executed, ie. byPerformRefactoringOperation
. - After a refactoring has been executed, the refactoring framework stores
the returned refactoring descriptor into the global refactoring history.
During serialization of the descriptor, the refactoring framework calls
retrieveArgumentMap(RefactoringDescriptor)
of the refactoring contribution associated with the executed refactoring to obtain a neutral key-value representation of the state of the language-specific refactoring descriptor.
Refactorings for which a refactoring contribution has been registered should also create a
RefactoringDescriptor
during change generation. TheirRefactoring.createChange(org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor)
should return a change object whoseChange.getDescriptor()
method returns aRefactoringChangeDescriptor
that encapsulates theRefactoringDescriptor
.Since 3.3, refactoring contributions may serve also as a uniform API to expose language-specific refactorings. Clients wishing to provide customizable refactoring descriptors may reimplement the method
createDescriptor()
.Note: Clients which extend this class are required to reimplement the method
retrieveArgumentMap(RefactoringDescriptor)
in subclasses to capture the state of a language-specific refactoring descriptor in a neutral key-value representation used by the refactoring framework. The default implementation in this class only handles refactoring descriptors associated with refactorings for which no corresponding refactoring contribution has been registered.- Since:
- 3.2
- When a refactoring script is executed, the refactoring framework
retrieves a corresponding refactoring contribution for each refactoring
persisted in the script and calls

Method Detail
-
createDescriptor
public RefactoringDescriptor createDescriptor()
Creates a new customizable refactoring descriptor initialized with its default values.This method may be reimplemented to return a language-specified refactoring descriptor which can be initialized using language-specific features. Refactoring tool providers may reimplement this method to provide a uniform API to expose refactoring functionality in the form of refactoring descriptors.
Callers of this method are supposed to cast the resulting refactoring descriptor to the corresponding language-specific refactoring descriptor provided by the API of the refactoring tooling provider.
Note: this method is supposed to be reimplemented by clients wishing to provide customizable refactoring descriptors.
- Returns:
- the refactoring descriptor, or
null
if the refactoring represented by this contribution does not expose customizable refactoring descriptors - Since:
- 3.3
- See Also:
createDescriptor(String, String, String, String, Map, int)
-
createDescriptor
public abstract RefactoringDescriptor createDescriptor(String id, String project, String description, String comment, Map<String,String> arguments, int flags) throws IllegalArgumentException
Creates a new refactoring descriptor initialized with the values provided by the arguments of this method.This method is used by the refactoring framework to create a language-specific refactoring descriptor representing the refactoring instance corresponding to the specified arguments. Implementations of this method must never return
null
. The refactoring framework guarantees that this method is only called withid
values for which the refactoring contribution has been registered with the extension point.- Parameters:
id
- the unique id of the refactoringproject
- the non-empty name of the project associated with this refactoring, ornull
for a workspace refactoringdescription
- a non-empty human-readable description of the particular refactoring instancecomment
- the comment associated with the refactoring, ornull
for no commentarguments
- the argument map. The keys of the arguments are required to be non-empty strings which must not contain spaces. The values must be non-empty stringsflags
- the flags of the refactoring descriptor- Returns:
- the refactoring descriptor
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the argument map contains invalid keys/values- See Also:
retrieveArgumentMap(RefactoringDescriptor)
-
getId
public String getId()
Returns the refactoring id for which this refactoring contribution has been registered with the extension point. Implementations ofcreateDescriptor()
may use this method to initialize the resulting refactoring descriptor with the id of this refactoring contribution.Note: this method is not intended to be extended or reimplemented by clients.
- Returns:
- the unique id of the refactoring
- Since:
- 3.3
- Restriction:
- This method is not intended to be re-implemented or extended by clients.
-
retrieveArgumentMap
public Map<String,String> retrieveArgumentMap(RefactoringDescriptor descriptor)
Retrieves the argument map of the specified refactoring descriptor.This method is used by the refactoring framework to obtain refactoring-specific arguments provided by the refactoring descriptor. These are the arguments which are specific to certain refactoring instances, and correspond to the argument map which has been passed to
createDescriptor(String, String, String, String, Map, int)
upon creation of the refactoring descriptor.The returned argument map (element type: <String, String>) must satisfy the following conditions:
- The keys of the arguments are required to be non-empty strings which must not contain spaces.
- The values must be non-empty strings
Note: Subclasses must extend this method to provide more specific implementation in order to let the refactoring framework retrieve the argument map from language-specific refactoring descriptors. Implementations of this method must never return
null
. The refactoring framework guarantees that this method is only called for refactoring descriptors which have been obtained by a previous call tocreateDescriptor(String, String, String, String, Map, int)
.- Parameters:
descriptor
- the refactoring descriptor to retrieve its argument map- Returns:
- the argument map of the specified refactoring descriptor

createDescriptor(String, String, String, String, Map, int)
