Watch Expression Delegates

Identifier:

org.eclipse.debug.core.watchExpressionDelegates

Since:

3.0

Description:

This extension provides a mechanism for providing delegates to evaluate watch expressions on a per debug model basis. Watch expression delegates perform evaluations for watch expressions and report the results asynchronously.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension (watchExpressionDelegate*)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id CDATA #IMPLIED

name CDATA #IMPLIED>

point - a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point
id - an optional identifier of the extension instance
name - an optional name of the extension instance

<!ELEMENT watchExpressionDelegate EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST watchExpressionDelegate

debugModel CDATA #REQUIRED

delegateClass CDATA #REQUIRED>

debugModel - specifies the id of the debug model that this delegate provides evaluations for
delegateClass - specifies a Java class which implements org.eclipse.debug.core.model.IWatchExpressionDelegate, which is used to evaluate the value of an expression.

Examples:


The following is the definition of a watch expression delegate for the com.example.foo plug-in:
 <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.core.watchExpressionDelegates">
   <watchExpressionDelegate
     debugModel="org.eclipse.jdt.debug"
     delegateClass="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.JavaWatchExpressionDelegate"/>
  </extension>

API Information:

Value of the attribute delegateClass must be a fully qualified name of a Java class that implements the interface org.eclipse.debug.core.model.IWatchExpressionDelegate.
