Eclipse Platform
Release 3.1

org.eclipse.update.core
Class BaseFeatureFactory

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.eclipse.update.core.model.FeatureModelFactory
      extended byorg.eclipse.update.core.BaseFeatureFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
IFeatureFactory

public abstract class BaseFeatureFactory
extends FeatureModelFactory
implements IFeatureFactory

Base implementation of a feature factory. The factory is responsible for constructing the correct concrete implementation of the model objects for each particular feature type. This class creates model objects that correspond to the concrete implementation classes provided in this package. The actual feature creation method is subclass responsibility.

This class must be subclassed by clients.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Method Detail

createFeature

public IFeature createFeature(URL url,
                              ISite site)
                       throws CoreException
Deprecated. implement createFeature(URL, ISite, IProgressMonitor) instead

Description copied from interface: IFeatureFactory
Returns a feature defined by the supplied URL. The feature is associated with the specified site.

The actual interpretation of the URL is feature-type specific. In most cases the URL will point to some feature-specific file that can be used (directly or indirectly) to construct the feature object.

Specified by:
createFeature in interface IFeatureFactory
Parameters:
url - URL interpreted by the feature
site - site to be associated with the feature
Returns:
concrete feature object
Throws:
CoreException
Since:
2.0
See Also:
IFeatureFactory.createFeature(URL,ISite)

createFeature

public abstract IFeature createFeature(URL url,
                                       ISite site,
                                       IProgressMonitor monitor)
                                throws CoreException
Create feature. Implementation of this method must be provided by subclass

Specified by:
createFeature in interface IFeatureFactory
Parameters:
url - URL interpreted by the feature
site - site to be associated with the feature
Returns:
concrete feature object
Throws:
CoreException
Since:
2.0
