Interface Recognizer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRecognizer, EarProfileRecognizer

public interface Recognizer

Recognizes artifacts within a BuilderContext and returns a Profile type that can be created in that context.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
AbstractBuilder	recognize(Element element, BuilderContext context, java.lang.Class classOrIntf) Recognize the context and return one or more Builders that can create Profiles for the context.

Method Detail

recognize

AbstractBuilder recognize(Element element,
                          BuilderContext context,
                          java.lang.Class classOrIntf)

Recognize the context and return one or more Builders that can create Profiles for the context.

Each builder can create an instance of a particular Profile class as specified by Builder.getProfileClass(). Return null or empty array if Element is not recognized, or even if it is recognized but cannot be constructed in the given context.

The recognizer should be optimized to return null, if requested type is not assignable to the Profile class that this recognizer knows about.

 AbstractBuilder recognize(Element e, BuilderContext c, Class c) {
   if (! c.isAssignableFrom(MyProfile.class) {
     return null;
   }
 }
 

Parameters:

element - the Element to recognize.

context - the context under which it should be recognized. The IDE context is available within this.

classOrIntf - the class or interface type that is specifically requested. The constructed builder should be capable of creating an instace of this type or one of its sub-types. Guaranteed not null, the default is Object.class.

Returns:

a Builder that may be called by the client to create a Profile.
