Interface ISourcePathComputer

All Superinterfaces:
ISourcePathComputerDelegate
public interface ISourcePathComputer extends ISourcePathComputerDelegate
A source path computer computes the default source lookup path (set of source containers that should be considered) for a launch configuration.

A source path computer is contributed in plug-in XML via the sourcePathComputers extension point, that provides a delegate to compute the path specific to a launch configuration. Following is an example contribution. 

 <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.core.sourcePathComputers">
        <sourcePathComputer
                id="org.eclipse.example.exampleSourcePathComputer"
                class="org.eclipse.example.SourcePathComputer">
        </sourcePathComputer>
 </extension>

A source path computer can be associated with a launch configuration type via the sourcePathComputerId attribute of a launch configuration type extension. As well, a launch configuration can specify its own source path computer to use via the ATTR_SOURCE_PATH_COMPUTER_ID attribute.

Clients contributing a source path computer provide an implementation of ISourcePathComputerDelegate.

    • ATTR_SOURCE_PATH_COMPUTER_ID

      static final String ATTR_SOURCE_PATH_COMPUTER_ID
      Launch configuration attribute to specify a source path computer that should be used for a launch configuration. The value is an identifier of a source path computer extension, or unspecified (null), if the default source path computer should be used. A default source path computer can be associated with a launch configuration type.
