Description

Interface Summary

IAdaptable	An interface for an adaptable object.
IAdapterFactory	An adapter factory defines behavioral extensions for one or more classes that implements the IAdaptable interface.
IAdapterManager	An adapter manager maintains a registry of adapter factories.
IBundleGroup	Bundle groups represent a logical collection of plug-ins (aka bundles).
IBundleGroupProvider	Bundle group providers define groups of plug-ins which have been installed in the current system.
IConfigurationElement	A configuration element, with its attributes and children, directly reflects the content and structure of the extension section within the declaring plug-in's manifest (plugin.xml) file.
IContributor	This interface describes a registry contributor - an entity that supplies information to the extension registry.
IExecutableExtension	Interface for executable extension classes that require access to their configuration element, or implement an extension adapter.
IExecutableExtensionFactory	This interface allows extension providers to control how the instances provided to extension-points are being created by referring to the factory instead of referring to a class.
IExtension	An extension declared in a plug-in.
IExtensionDelta	An extension delta represents changes to the extension registry.
IExtensionPoint	An extension point declared in a plug-in.
IExtensionRegistry	The extension registry holds the master list of all discovered namespaces, extension points and extensions.
ILogListener	A log listener is notified of entries added to a plug-in's log.
IPath	A path is an ordered collection of string segments, separated by a standard separator character, "/".
IProgressMonitor	The IProgressMonitor interface is implemented by objects that monitor the progress of an activity; the methods in this interface are invoked by code that performs the activity.
IProgressMonitorWithBlocking	An extension to the IProgressMonitor interface for monitors that want to support feedback when an activity is blocked due to concurrent activity in another thread.
IRegistryChangeEvent	Registry change events describe changes to the extension registry.
IRegistryChangeListener	A registry change listener is notified of changes to extensions points in the registry.
ISafeRunnable	Safe runnables represent blocks of code and associated exception handlers.
IStatus	A status object represents the outcome of an operation.
ISynchronousRegistryChangeListener	A synchronous IRegistryChangeEvent listener.

Class Summary

Assert	Assert is useful for for embedding runtime sanity checks in code.
ContributorFactoryOSGi	The contributor factory creates new registry contributors for use in OSGi-based registries.
ContributorFactorySimple	The contributor factory creates new registry contributors for use in a simple registry based on the String representation of the determining object.
FileLocator	This class contains collection of helper methods aimed at finding files in bundles.
ListenerList	This class is a thread safe list that is designed for storing lists of listeners.
MultiStatus	A concrete multi-status implementation, suitable either for instantiating or subclassing.
NullProgressMonitor	A default progress monitor implementation suitable for subclassing.
Path	The standard implementation of the IPath interface.
PlatformObject	An abstract superclass implementing the IAdaptable interface.
PluginVersionIdentifier	Deprecated. clients should use Version instead
ProgressMonitorWrapper	An abstract wrapper around a progress monitor which, unless overridden, forwards IProgressMonitor and IProgressMonitorWithBlocking methods to the wrapped progress monitor.
QualifiedName	Qualified names are two-part names: qualifier and local name.
RegistryFactory	Use this class to create or obtain an extension registry.
SafeRunner	Runs the given ISafeRunnable in a protected mode: exceptions thrown in the runnable are logged and passed to the runnable's exception handler.
Status	A concrete status implementation, suitable either for instantiating or subclassing.
SubMonitor	A progress monitor that uses a given amount of work ticks from a parent monitor.
SubProgressMonitor	For new implementations consider using SubMonitor.

Exception Summary

AssertionFailedException	AssertionFailedException is a runtime exception thrown by some of the methods in Assert.
CoreException	A checked exception representing a failure.
InvalidRegistryObjectException	An unchecked exception indicating that an attempt to access an extension registry object that is no longer valid.
OperationCanceledException	This exception is thrown to blow out of a long-running method when the user cancels it.

Package org.eclipse.core.runtime Description

Provides support for the runtime platform, core utility methods and the extension registry.

Package Specification

This package contains three components:

• APIs related to the runtime platform itself (provided by the org.eclipse.core.runtime plug-in)
• Various utility types such as Path, IPath and various flavours of progress monitors (provided by the org.eclipse.equinox.common plug-in)
• Extension registry mechanism (provided by the org.eclipse.equinox.registry plug-in)
