Enum LoaderType

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<LoaderType>
javax.ide.extension.LoaderType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<LoaderType>

public enum LoaderType

extends java.lang.Enum<LoaderType>

The LoaderType enumeration specifies information about the loader an extension wishes to use. This information is provided for each extension in the Extension2.getPreferredLoader() method.

Enum Constant Summary

GLOBAL
When an extension is loaded in a global loader, it can see classes from all other extensions loaded in the global loader.

ISOLATED
When an extension is loaded in an isolated loader, it can only see classes from extensions it depends on, their dependencies, or classpath entries they provide.

Method Summary

static LoaderType	valueOf(java.lang.String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static LoaderType[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Methods inherited from class java.lang.Enum

clone, compareTo, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf

Methods inherited from class java.lang.Object

getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Enum Constant Detail

ISOLATED

public static final LoaderType ISOLATED

When an extension is loaded in an isolated loader, it can only see classes from extensions it depends on, their dependencies, or classpath entries they provide.

GLOBAL

public static final LoaderType GLOBAL

When an extension is loaded in a global loader, it can see classes from all other extensions loaded in the global loader.

Method Detail

values

public static LoaderType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (LoaderType c : LoaderType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static LoaderType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
