Library models typed bundle of typed volumes.

Method Detail

getContent

public List getContent(String volumeType)

Access typed but raw library data.

The contents are defined by SPI providers and identified by the volume types. For example the j2se library supports the following volume types: classpath - the library classpath roots, src - the library sources, javadoc - the library javadoc. Your module must have contract with a particular provider's module to be able to query it effectively.

Parameters:: volumeType - which resources to return.
Returns:: path of URLs of given type (possibly empty but never null)

getName

public String getName()

Get library binding name. The name identifies library in scope of one libraries storage.

Returns:: String with library name

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns description of the library. The description provides more detailed information about the library.

Returns:: String the description or null if the description is not available

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName()

Returns the display name of the library. The display name is either equal to the name or is a localized version of the name.

Returns:: String the display name, never returns null.

getType

public String getType()

Gets the type of library. The library type identifies the provider which has created the library and implies the volues contained in it.

Returns:: String (e.g. j2se for J2SE library)

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds PropertyChangeListener

Parameters:: listener -

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Removes PropertyChangeListener
