becomeWorkingCopy

public ICompilationUnit becomeWorkingCopy(IProblemRequestor problemRequestor,
 WorkingCopyOwner owner,
 org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor monitor)
                                   throws JavaModelException

Description copied from interface: IClassFile

Changes this class file handle into a working copy. A new IBuffer is created using the given owner. Uses the primary owner if null is specified.

When switching to working copy mode, problems are reported to the given IProblemRequestor. Note that once in working copy mode, the given IProblemRequestor is ignored. Only the original IProblemRequestor is used to report subsequent problems.

Once in working copy mode, changes to this working copy or its children are done in memory. Only the new buffer is affected.

Using ICompilationUnit.commitWorkingCopy(boolean, IProgressMonitor) on the working copy will throw a JavaModelException as a class file is implicetly read-only.

If this class file was already in working copy mode, an internal counter is incremented and no other action is taken on this working copy. To bring this working copy back into the original mode (where it reflects the underlying resource), ICompilationUnit.discardWorkingCopy() must be call as many times as IClassFile.becomeWorkingCopy(IProblemRequestor, WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor).

The primary compilation unit of a class file's working copy does not exist if the class file is not in working copy mode (classFileWorkingCopy.getPrimary().exists() == false).

The resource of a class file's working copy is null if the class file is in an external jar file.

Specified by:

becomeWorkingCopy in interface IClassFile

Parameters:

problemRequestor - a requestor which will get notified of problems detected during reconciling as they are discovered. The requestor can be set to null indicating that the client is not interested in problems.

owner - the given WorkingCopyOwner, or null for the primary owner

monitor - a progress monitor used to report progress while opening this compilation unit or null if no progress should be reported

Returns:

a working copy for this class file

Throws:

JavaModelException - if this compilation unit could not become a working copy.

• ICompilationUnit.discardWorkingCopy()

codeComplete

@Deprecated
public void codeComplete(int offset,

                  throws JavaModelException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ICodeAssist

Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.

Specified by:

codeComplete in interface ICodeAssist

Parameters:

offset - the given offset position

requestor - the given completion requestor

Throws:

JavaModelException - if code assist could not be performed. Reasons include:

• This Java element does not exist (ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
• The position specified is < -1 or is greater than this compilation unit's source length (INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS)

                  throws JavaModelException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ICodeAssist

Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.

Note that if a working copy is empty, it will be as if the original compilation unit had been deleted.

Specified by:

codeComplete in interface ICodeAssist

Parameters:

offset - the given offset position

requestor - the given completion requestor

owner - the owner of working copies that take precedence over their original compilation units

Throws:
