Package org.netbeans.spi.project

package org.netbeans.spi.project

Support for defining project types.

Each kind of project in the system needs to be loaded by a ProjectFactory, which defines how to recognize projects on disk, load their metadata into memory, and save their metadata back to disk. ProjectState is used to let the factory mark a project as being modified in memory.

Projects will normally put implementations of several interfaces such as ActionProvider into their lookup.

LookupMerger.Registration	Registers a lookup merger for some project types.
LookupProvider	interface for inclusion of 3rd party content in project's lookup.
LookupProvider.Registration	Annotation to register LookupProvider instances.
LookupProvider.Registration.ProjectType
MoveOperationImplementation	Project Rename/Move Operation.
MoveOrRenameOperationImplementation	A preferred substitute for MoveOperationImplementation to be used when the project can behave more simply, efficiently, and robustly when it is simply being renamed (code and/or display name) without actually being moved to a new location.
NestedClass	Structure representing an identification of a nested class in a file.
ParentProjectProvider	Optional ability of a project to determine its immediate parent project, if there is any.
ProjectConfiguration	Represents one user-selectable configuration of a particular project.
ProjectConfigurationProvider<C extends ProjectConfiguration>	Provider of configurations for a project.

ProjectContainerProvider.Result	non mutable result object
ProjectFactory	Create in-memory projects from disk directories.
ProjectFactory2	Create in-memory projects from disk directories.
ProjectIconAnnotator	Permits third parties to alter a project's icon.
ProjectInformationProvider
ProjectManagerImplementation	The SPI class for ProjectManager.
ProjectManagerImplementation.ProjectManagerCallBack	Callback to notify the ProjectManager about changes.
ProjectServiceProvider	Like LookupProvider but registers a single object into a project's lookup.
ProjectState	Callback permitting Projects to inform the ProjectManager of important lifecycle events.
RootProjectProvider	Optional ability of a project to determine its root project (farthest parent), or return self if it is a root project by itself.
SingleMethod	Structure representing an identification of a single method/function in a file.
SourceGroupModifierImplementation	The SPI side of SourceGroupModifier.
SourceGroupRelativeModifierImplementation	Intermediate level for more structured projects, where the simple type-based information are not sufficient to create an appropriate folder structure.
SubprojectProvider	Optional ability of projects which may have a list of "subprojects".
