org.openide.text
Class Line.Set

java.lang.Object
  org.openide.text.Line.Set

Direct Known Subclasses:: DocumentLine.Set

Enclosing class:: Line

public abstract static class Line.Set
extends Object

Object that represents a snapshot of lines at the time it was created. It is used to create a mapping from line numbers to line objects, for example when the file is saved. Such a mapping can then be used by the compiler, e.g., to find the correct Line object, assuming it has a line number.

Mappings of line numbers to line objects will survive modifications of the text, and continue to represent the original lines as close as possible. For example: if a new line is inserted at the 10th line of a document and the compiler module asks for the 25th line (because the compiler reports an error at line 25 in the saved file) via the line set, the 26th line of the current document will be marked as being in error.

Constructor Detail

Line.Set

public Line.Set()

Create a new snapshot. Remembers the date when it was created.

Method Detail

getLines

public abstract List getLines()

Returns a set of line objects sorted by their line numbers. This immutable list will contains all lines held by this line set.

Returns:: list of element type Line

getDate

public final Date getDate()

Get creation time for this line set.

Returns:: time

getOriginal

public abstract Line getOriginal(int line)
                          throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

Find line object in the line set corresponding to original line number. That is, finds the line in the current document which originally had the indicated line number. If there have been modifications of that line, find one as close as possible.

Parameters:: line - number of the line
Returns:: line object
Throws:: IndexOutOfBoundsException - if line is an invalid index for the original set of lines

getCurrent

public abstract Line getCurrent(int line)
                         throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

Find line object representing the line in current document.

Parameters:: line - number of the line in current state of the document
Returns:: line object
Throws:: IndexOutOfBoundsException - if line is an invalid index for the original set of lines

getOriginalLineNumber

public int getOriginalLineNumber(Line line)

Finds an original line number for given line in this line set.

Parameters:: line - the line to look for
Returns:: the number that best matches the line number of the line or -1 if the line does seem to be produced by this line set
Since:: 4.38
