Method Detail

hasListeners

protected final boolean hasListeners()

Get whether there are any registered listeners.

Returns:

true if there are any registered listeners.

getListeners

protected final java.util.Collection getListeners()

Returns:

all listeners.

initialize

protected void initialize()

Initializes the build system manager.

This implementation retrieves and registers listeners obtained from the build system hook handler.

Overrides:

initialize in class Service

addBuildListener

public final void addBuildListener(BuildListener l)

Add an BuildListener.

Parameters:

l - the BuildListener to add.

removeBuildListener

public final void removeBuildListener(BuildListener l)

Remove an BuildListener.

Parameters:

l - The BuildListener to remove.

build

public abstract void build(Context context)

Start a build of the objects selected in the Context. This method starts the build in another thread and returns immediately.

Parameters:

context - the objects returned by calling the Context.getSelection() method are build using the classpath and source path information provided by the context project.

isBuilding

Check if the build system is currently building something.

Returns:

true is a build is in progress.

getBuildSystem
