Method Detail

initialize

protected void initialize()

Initialize this manager. This is called the first time a manager is retrieved programmatically. The manager should process necessary information from the extension manifest to initialize itself.

This implementation does nothing.

getService

protected static Service getService(java.lang.Class serviceClass)
                             throws javax.ide.spi.ProviderNotFoundException

Get a service. This implementation looks for a META-INF/services/className resource on the classpath of the context classloader. If such a resource exists, it must contain the fully qualified class name of an implementation class of the specified class.

Parameters:

serviceClass - the class of the service.

Returns:

the service.

Throws:

javax.ide.spi.ProviderNotFoundException - if an implementation of the service could not be located.

resetAllServices

public static void resetAllServices()

Resets all services, causing them to be recreated from scratch next time the getService( Class ) API is used.

Extension developers are strongly discouraged from using this method. It is called by the internal LookupProvider API to reset services when a new provider is registered.

Since:

2.0

cloneLoadedServices

public static java.util.HashMap<java.lang.Class<?>,Service> cloneLoadedServices()

Clones loaded services table.

This should only ever be called from test code.

Returns:

the stored table of active servcices

setLoadedServices

public static void setLoadedServices(java.util.HashMap<java.lang.Class<?>,Service> loadedServices)

Set the loaded services table.

This should only ever be called from test code.

Parameters:

loadedServices - the loaded services.
