Method Detail

connect

void connect(org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput input)
             throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException
Connects the given editor input to this manager. After calling this method, a working copy will be available for the compilation unit encoded in the given editor input (does nothing if there is no encoded compilation unit).

Parameters:
input - the editor input
Throws:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException - if the working copy cannot be created for the unit

disconnect

void disconnect(org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput input)
Disconnects the given editor input from this manager. After calling this method, a working copy for the compilation unit encoded in the given editor input will no longer be available. Does nothing if there is no encoded compilation unit, or if there is no remembered working copy for the compilation unit.

Parameters:
input - the editor input

getWorkingCopy

IMakefile getWorkingCopy(org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput input)
Returns the working copy remembered for the compilation unit encoded in the given editor input.

Parameters:
input - the editor input
Returns:
the working copy of the compilation unit, or null if the input does not encode an editor input, or if there is no remembered working copy for this compilation unit

shutdown

void shutdown()
Shuts down this working copy manager. All working copies still remembered by this manager are destroyed.
