Interface JptResourceType

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<JptResourceType>, ContentTypeReference

public interface JptResourceType
extends ContentTypeReference, Comparable<JptResourceType>

Specifies the file content type and version for Dali resources.

Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Since:

2.3

Method Summary

Iterable<JptResourceType>	getBaseTypes() Return the resource type's base types.
String	getId() Return the resource type's extension-supplied ID.
JptResourceTypeManager	getManager() Return the resource type's manager.

VERSION_TRANSFORMER

static final org.eclipse.jpt.common.utility.transformer.Transformer<JptResourceType,String> VERSION_TRANSFORMER

UNDETERMINED_VERSION

static final String UNDETERMINED_VERSION

Version used when version cannot be determined or when there is no sense of version relevant to JPA (e.g. Java). An indeterminate version is compatible only with another indeterminate version; while all specified versions are compatible with an indeterminate version.
