Package org.netbeans.spi.queries
Permits query implementations to be registered.

Description
| Interface Summary | |
|---|---|
| CollocationQueryImplementation | A query which should typically be provided by a VCS to give information about whether some files can be considered part of one logical directory tree. |
| FileBuiltQueryImplementation | Test whether a file can be considered to be built (up to date). |
| SharabilityQueryImplementation | Determine whether files should be shared (for example in a VCS) or are intended to be unshared. |
| VisibilityQueryImplementation | Determine whether files should be hidden in views presented to the user. |
Package org.netbeans.spi.queries Description
Permits query implementations to be registered.
A query is implemented by creating an instance of its implementation interface and registering it to default lookup. Queriers should normally not need to see these interfaces directly since there is a matching utility class which aggregates and prioritizes the results automatically. The utility class in the API can also insulate clients from changes in the SPI.
It is expected that only a small number of implementations of a given query
interface are actually registered at once, so the critical path for answering it
should be relatively short. Where a large number of modules are
able to supply information for a query following a common structure, and it is
possible to quickly determine which one would know the answer, a multiplexing
implementation of the query interface may be registered which can reroute
requests directly to a proper implementation of some secondary interface (again
registered in default lookup). This technique permits the SPI to be very
flexible while keeping a typical API method call fast. For an example, note that
only one instance of
ProjectFactory
is
necessary to support all Ant-based projects: each project type is defined using
an
AntBasedProjectType,
and the
singleton multiplexer delegates appropriately based on the project type ID found
in nbproject/project.xml in the project directory. Therefore adding
a new Ant-based project type should not increase the time required to recognize a
particular Ant-based project on disk.
