Interface ItemExtendedLabelProvider

All Superinterfaces:

ItemLabelProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

ItemExtendedLabelProvider.Null

public interface ItemExtendedLabelProvider
extends ItemLabelProvider

Implementations of this interface can be used to maintain the label (image and text) and description of a specific item. The implementation will monitor the item for any changes that affect the description and forward them appropriately to the ItemExtendedLabelProvider.Manager.

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.
