Interface ICommonLabelProvider

  • All Superinterfaces:
    IBaseLabelProvider, IDescriptionProvider, ILabelProvider, IMementoAware
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    AbstractSynchronizationLabelProvider, SynchronizationLabelProvider
    public interface ICommonLabelProvider
extends ILabelProvider, IMementoAware, IDescriptionProvider
    Allows extensions to vary their behavior based on properties in the extension model and the given memento.

    Clients should refer to the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent extension point for more information on building a content extension.

    Clients should not dispose of any Image Resources that might be shared by other extensions when their Label Provider is disposed. When a content extension is deactivated, both its content and label providers are disposed, but the viewer remains visible to the user. If clients dispose of Image Resources used by other extensions, then it will cause problems for those extensions and the viewer in general.

    Clients may implement this interface if they require the methods provided here. ILabelProvider is respected by the Common Navigator.
