Method Detail

getSourceGroups

SourceGroup[] getSourceGroups(String type)

Find all root source folders matching a given type.

For a given type, the returned source folders must not overlap, i.e. there may be no duplicates and no folder may be a descendant of another.

In the case of TYPE_GENERIC source folders, the project must contain at least one such folder (a nonempty array must be returned), and the project directory must either be one of the returned folders, or a descendant of one of the returned folders.

Parameters:: type - a kind of folder, e.g. TYPE_GENERIC or org.netbeans.api.java.project.JavaProjectConstants#SOURCES_TYPE_JAVA
Returns:: a list of top-level source folders of that kind (may be empty but not null)

Parameters:: listener - a listener to add

removeChangeListener

void removeChangeListener(ChangeListener listener)

Remove a listener to changes in the source groups.

Parameters:: listener - a listener to remove
