Java Source API

Added a possibility to specify remote javadoc handling policy

Jul 15 '14; API spec. version: 0.138; made by: tzezula; issues: #240501
Added a possibility to specify remote javadoc handling policy in JavadocHelper

Added API to preserve comments and whitespaces in transformations

Jul 10 '14; API spec. version: 0.137; made by: sdedic
If a transformation moves a Tree node elsewhere, or produces a replacement of it, it can now mark the new tree as a 'replacement' for the old one, which causes whitespaces (most notably comments) to attach to the replacement node.

Desktop independent parts of the Java Source module extracted

Apr 30 '14; API spec. version: 1.0; affected packages: org.netbeans.api.java.source org.netbeans.api.java.source.matching org.netbeans.api.java.source.support; made by: dbalek

Runtime compatibility remains, compile time compatibility is mostly preserved too. It is however recommended to upgrade dependencies of client modules. Try running ant fix-dependencies in your Ant module.


Compatibility:
Binary-compatible

Removal of obsolete, duplicated and deprecated methods from java/source

Jun 15 '07; API spec. version: 0.19; made by: jlahoda; issues: #106719
Removal of a few obsolete, duplicated and deprecated methods from java/source.

CancellableTask split into Task and CancellableTask.

Jun 15 '07; API spec. version: 0.18; made by: tzezula
The JavaSource.runModificationTask(), runWhenScanFinished() and runUserActionTask() never call the cancel method of the CancellableTask, the implementor of such a CancellableTask just writes an empty cancel method. The compatible API change splits the CancellableTask into Task with run method and CancellableTask which extends the Task by cancel method. The JavaSource methods mentioned above take Task rather than CancellableTask. The CancellableTask is used only for tasks registered by factories.

ClassIndex methods are cancellable

Jun 13 '07; API spec. version: 0.16; made by: tzezula
The ClassIndex methods called from the CancellableTask are cancellable. In case when they are cancelled by the JavaSource infrastructure they return null instead of the Set to allow client to determine this state. The incompatible semantic change is that tasks registered by factories have to check if the value returned from class index is null.

Added a method to obtain top level elements defined in the source/class file.

Jun 5 '07; API spec. version: 0.14; made by: tzezula; issues: #93100
Added a method to obtain top level elements defined in the given source or class file.

Added factory method which returns a new TreePathHandle for given Element and CompilationInfo.

Apr 24 '07; API spec. version: 0.13; made by: jbecicka; issues: #102333
There is no simple way how to weakly reference all elements from javac. For instance local variables cannot be referenced by ElementHandles while source-less Elements cannot be referenced by TreePathHandles. This fix allows to create TreePathHandles for any javac Element (both local and source less).

Added a method to run a CancellableTask when the backgound scan is finished.

Apr 19 '07; API spec. version: 0.12; made by: tzezula; issues: #91117 #99923
The JavaSource.runWhenScanFinished performs the given task either synchronously when no background scan is running. When the background scan is running the task is performed asynchronously when the scan completes.

Added a method which returns all the project source roots depending on a given source root.

Apr 13 '07; API spec. version: 0.10; made by: tzezula; issues: #92030
The refactoring and find usages need to find the dependent roots of a project root in which the refactored type is declared, but finding such an information using the project API may be very expensive especially when lots of projects is opened. The goal of this API is to provide and cache this information.

Added a listener for listening on changes in the ClassIndex.

Apr 4 '07; API spec. version: 0.8; made by: tzezula; issues: #91763
The listener for listening on changes in the ClassIndex was added. The listener fires events when a declared type was removed, added, changed in the ClassIndex oe when the underlaying ClassPath was changed.

Adding template attribute package

Mar 26 '07; API spec. version: 0.7; made by: jpokorsky; issues: #95399
Added the template attribute package for templates using scripting language.

Removing CommentUtilities, adjusting TreeMaker and introducing TypeUtilities
