Field Detail

KEY_LOCATOR

public static final java.lang.String KEY_LOCATOR

A key that provides information about the position in the manifest file currently being processed. In the scope data map, this key will resolve to an instance of org.xml.sax.Locator, if the parser supports it.

You should always check whether the locator is null, since it is not required that every IDE provide a Locator in the parsing context.

Method Detail

log

protected final void log(ElementContext context,
                         java.util.logging.Level level,
                         java.lang.String msg)

Log a message. This is the recommended way to log errors while processing elements in the manifest file. It will ensure that positional information (if available) is passed to the logger as the first parameter of the log message.

Parameters:

context - the current context.

level - the level to log at.

msg - the message to log.

log

protected final void log(ElementContext context,
                         java.util.logging.Level level,
                         java.lang.String msg,
                         java.lang.Object... parameters)

Log a message. This is the recommended way to log errors while processing elements in the manifest file. It will ensure that positional information (if available) is passed to the logger as the first parameter of the log message.

Parameters:

context - the current context.

level - the level to log at.

msg - the message to log.

parameters - one or more parameters for the message.

start

public void start(ElementStartContext context)

Visit the start tag of an xml element.

This implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

context - information about the xml start tag.

end

public void end(ElementEndContext context)

Visit the end tag of an xml element.

This implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

context - information about the xml end tag.

getClassLoader

public static final java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader(ElementContext context)

Gets the class loader to use in the specified context.

Parameters:

context - the context.

Returns:

the class loader to use in this context. Never returns null.

Since:

2.0

getResourceBundle

public static final java.util.ResourceBundle getResourceBundle(ElementContext context)

Gets the resource bundle (if any) to be used for translatable resources in the specified context.

Parameters:

context - a processing context.

Returns:

the resource bundle instance to use for this context, or null if none is available.

Since:

2.0

getAttributeHelper
