Interface IExtensionClassProducer

All Superinterfaces:

IFileConnected, ISelfCompiled, ITypeManifold

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractExtensionProducer

public interface IExtensionClassProducer
extends ITypeManifold

A type manifold implements this interface if it produces extension classes. Normally extension classes are provided directly as source files. However it may be necessary for a type manifold to produce them dynamically based on information provided elsewhere. This interface serves as a means for the ExtensionManifold to ask this type manifold what types it extends and so forth.

Method Detail

isExtendedType

boolean isExtendedType(String fqn)

Does this type manifold produce extension class[es] for fqn?

Parameters:

fqn - The fully qualified name of a type for which this manifold may produce an extension class

Returns:

True if this manifold produces extension class[es] for fqn

getExtensionClasses

Set<String> getExtensionClasses(String fqn)

The subset of extension classes this type manifold produces that extend fqn

Parameters:

fqn - The fully qualified name of a potentially extended type

Returns:

The subset of extension classes this type manifold produces that extend fqn

getExtendedTypes

Set<String> getExtendedTypes()

The set of extension classes this type manifold produces.

getExtendedTypesForFile

Set<String> getExtendedTypesForFile(IFile file)

The set of classes extended via {$code file}.

Parameters:

file - A resource file associated with this class producer
