Constructor Detail

IdeSettings

public IdeSettings()

Extension writers should not create instances of IdeSettings. Obtain an instance of IdeSettings using Ide.getSettings().

IdeSettings

public IdeSettings(IdeSettings ideSettings)

Copy constructor. Extension writers should not call this constructor.

Method Detail

register

public void register()

Deprecated. since 11.0 with no replacement. This method no longer does anything.

init

public void init()

Initializes some core preferences.

This method should not be called by extension developers.

copyTo

public java.lang.Object copyTo(java.lang.Object target)

Description copied from interface: Copyable

Copies the internal state of this object to the specified copy. If copy is null, then this method should create a new instance of this class and proceed to copy the internal state to the newly created object. Generally, only the persistent state of the object should be copied, but whether or not it is appropriate to copy transient properties is at the discretion of the individual implementor.

Regardless of whether the copy occurs to an existing object or to a newly created object, the return value is object to which this object's state was copied.

There is a standard implementation pattern for the copyTo method that helps avoid problems that arise when a Copyable object is subclassed. The pattern is:

    public Object copyTo( Object target )
    {
      final <this_class> copy =
        target != null ? (<this_class>) target : new <this_class>();
      copyToImpl( copy );
      return copy;
    }

    protected final void copyToImpl( <this_class> copy )
    {
      super.copyToImpl( copy );  //  if necessary
      //  put code here for copying the properties of <this_class>
    }
  

The parameter passed into the copyToImpl method is the same type of this class. The responsibility of copyToImpl is to copy the state of this class through direct access of the fields. The copyToImpl method should not use getters and setters since these may be overridden, causing the state of this class to be incompletely copied.

Specified by:

copyTo in interface Copyable

Parameters:

target - The target object to which the state of this object should be copied. If target is null, then the copyTo method will return a new instance of this class.

Returns:

The object to which the state of this object was copied. If the target was non-null, then the return value is the same as the target object that was passed in; otherwise, the return value is a new instance of this class.

copyToImpl

protected final void copyToImpl(IdeSettings copy)

registerUI

public static void registerUI(Navigable ui)

Registers user interface for the Preferences dialog. This mechanism has been superceded by the <settings-ui-hook> registration mechanism in extension.xml. This method will likely be deprecated in a future release.

Parameters:

ui - user interface to register.

deregisterUI

public static void deregisterUI(Navigable ui)

Deregisters user interface from the Preferences dialog. This mechanism has been superceded by the <settings-ui-hook> registration mechanism in extension.xml. This method will likely be deprecated in a future release.

Parameters:

ui - user interface to deregister.

getNavigables

public static Navigable[] getNavigables()

Deprecated. since 11.0 with no replacement.

isAskExit

public boolean isAskExit()

Returns whether the user should be asked to exit the IDE when the settings dialog closes.

setAskExit

public void setAskExit(boolean askExit)

Sets whether the user should be asked to exit the IDE when the settings dialog closes.

getEnvironNavigable

public Navigable getEnvironNavigable()

Deprecated. as of 11.0. No replacement. Extensions should not be directly accessing the Navigable for the Environment page in preferences; instead you should

hasData

public boolean hasData(java.lang.String dataKey)

Checks if a data object assiciated with the specifid dataKey exists. This method does not cause the loading of the settings, therefore it should be used to check for data existance instead of calling getData for that purpose.

Parameters:

dataKey - unique key identifying the data.

Returns:

true if the settings holds the sought data.

getClientSetting

public ClientSetting getClientSetting(java.lang.String dataKey)
                               throws TransientMarker

Gets the client data object associated with the specified dataKey.

Parameters:

dataKey - unique key identifying the data.

Returns:

the sought client setting object. If none found, this method returns null.

Throws:

TransientMarker

getData

public java.lang.Object getData(java.lang.String dataKey)
                         throws TransientMarker

Gets the data object associated with the specified dataKey. Don't use this method to check for the existance of the data. Instead use the hasData method.

Parameters:

dataKey - unique key identifying the data.

Returns:

the sought data, null if not found.

Throws:

TransientMarker

putData

public void putData(java.lang.String dataKey,
                    Copyable data)

Deprecated. Use the ClientSetting object to put client specific settings.

Extensions should never call this method to set their ide settings. Extensions must use the ClientSetting object to do so.

This method is only available for backwards compatibility

Parameters:

dataKey - unique key identifying the data.

data - the data.

putLegacyData

public void putLegacyData(java.lang.String dataKey,
                          Copyable data)

Note: This method should only be used by legacy code that is migrating preferences forward to the Fusion release. Classes newly introduced in Fusion and later that store their data in Preferences should not use this method.

Used by extensions to preserve compatibility with previous releases for settings that have been moved from IdeSettings or ClientSetting (Object2Dom format) into Preferences (HashStructure format). It is not advised to use this method if your settings classes did not undergo such a transition (it will complicate what you have to do to migrate your settings properly).

Parameters:

dataKey - unique key identifying the data.

data - the data.

removeLegacyData

public void removeLegacyData(java.lang.String dataKey)

Removes the legacy data at the specified key. This is used to reset the state of IdeSettings for a particular key so that a subsequent call to putLegacyData will re-trigger its behavior.

Parameters:

dataKey - The id of the legacy object to remove.

getKeyStrokeOptions

public KeyStrokeOptions getKeyStrokeOptions()

Convenience method for getting at one of the built in options.

save

public boolean save()

Saves the registered data to the XML file.

load

public boolean load()

Loads the registered data from the XML file.

showDialog

public void showDialog(java.awt.Frame parent)

Shows the configuration dialog.

showDialog

public void showDialog(java.awt.Frame parent,
                       java.lang.String[] selectionPath)

Shows the configuration dialog.

showDialog

public void showDialog(java.awt.Frame parent,
                       MDDPanel panel,
                       java.lang.String[] selectionPath)

Shows the configuration dialog.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

equalsImpl

protected final boolean equalsImpl(IdeSettings opt)

This is a helper method for equals(Object) that can also be used by subclasses that implement equals(Object). It assumes that the argument is not null.

addClientSetting

protected final void addClientSetting(ClientSetting setting)
