Method Detail

getChangeType

FileChange.Type getChangeType()

Get the type of change.

the type of change

getId

Get the file ID for this change. The ID is unique within the file table returned by getFileTable().

Returns:

getRenameHint

java.net.URL getRenameHint()

If it is known that a change was part of a rename, obtain the URL being renamed to or from. For an FileChange.Type.ADDED change, this will be the old URL of the file. For a FileChange.Type.REMOVED change, this will be the new URL of the file. This is considered a hint because this information can only be provided in some cases. For example, if a file has been renamed externally, and then the project was refreshed in the IDE, this hint cannot be provided. Clients cannot rely on this hint. It is intended to be used in cases where this information can improve performance, but is not necessary. For example, a client may have cached information about a file, which can be reused if the file is renamed. In that case, if the hint is present, the existing data can be reused. But if the hint is not present, the cache data can be regenerated.

Returns:

the URL the file was renamed from or to, or null if this information is not available

getLastModified

long getLastModified()
