Class SharabilityQuery

java.lang.Object
  org.netbeans.api.queries.SharabilityQuery

public final class SharabilityQuery
extends Object
extends Object

Determine whether files should be shared (for example in a VCS) or are intended to be unshared. Likely to be of use only to a VCS filesystem.

This query can be considered to obsolete FileObject.setImportant(boolean). Unlike that method, the information is pulled by the VCS filesystem on demand, which may be more reliable than ensuring that the information is pushed by a project type (or other implementor) eagerly.

Field Detail

UNKNOWN

public static final int UNKNOWN

Constant indicating that nothing is known about whether a given file should be considered sharable or not. A client should therefore behave in the safest way it can.

See Also:: Constant Field Values

SHARABLE

public static final int SHARABLE

Constant indicating that the file or directory is sharable. In the case of a directory, this means that all files and directories recursively contained in this directory are also sharable.

See Also:: Constant Field Values

NOT_SHARABLE

public static final int NOT_SHARABLE

Constant indicating that the file or directory is not sharable. In the case of a directory, this means that all files and directories recursively contained in this directory are also not sharable.

See Also:: Constant Field Values

MIXED

public static final int MIXED

Constant indicating that a directory is sharable but files and directories recursively contained in it may or may not be sharable. A client interested in children of this directory should explicitly ask about each in turn.
