Method Detail

getConfigurations

java.util.List<IConfigurationElement> getConfigurations()

Get a list of IConfigurationElements for all element creators that are defined as extensions of the eu.geclipse.core.gridElementCreator extension point.

Returns:

All defined element creators.

getConfigurations

java.util.List<IConfigurationElement> getConfigurations(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Object> source,
                                                        java.lang.Class<? extends IGridElement> target)

Get a list of IConfigurationElement representing creators that are able to create an element of the specified type from the specified object.

Parameters:

source - The object from which to create the element.

target - The type of the element to be created.

Returns:

A list of IConfigurationElements representing appropriate element creators. If no such creators are currently registered an empty list is returned.

getCreators

java.util.List<IGridElementCreator> getCreators()

Get a list of all element creators that are defined as extensions of the eu.geclipse.core.gridElementCreator extension point.

Returns:

All defined element creators.

getCreator

IGridElementCreator getCreator(java.lang.Object source,
                               java.lang.Class<? extends IGridElement> target)

Get the first IGridElementCreator that is able to create an element of the specified type from the specified object. If such a creator could be found and a source object was specified the creator's source objects will be initialised by calling IGridElementCreator.setSource(Object).

Parameters:

source - The object from which to create the element.

target - The type of the element to be created.

Returns:

An appropriate element creator or null if no such creator is currently registered.

                               java.lang.Class<? extends IGridElement> target)

Get the first IGridElementCreator that is able to create an element of the specified type from the specified object type.

Parameters:

source - The object type from which to create the element.

target - The type of the element to be created.

Returns:

An appropriate element creator or null if no such creator is currently registered.
