public class CommandInfo
extends PluginInfo<Command>
implements ModuleInfo

A collection of metadata about a particular Command.

Unlike its more general superclass PluginInfo, a CommandInfo implements ModuleInfo, allowing it to describe and instantiate the command in Module form.

public URL getIconURL()
               throws InstantiableException

Description copied from class: PluginInfo

Gets the URL corresponding to the icon resource path.

Overrides:

Throws:

InstantiableException

See Also:

AbstractUIDetails.getIconPath()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class PluginInfo<Command>

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Description copied from interface: Instantiable

Gets the fully qualified name of the Class of the objects that can be created.

Specified by:

getClassName in interface Instantiable<Command>

Overrides:

getClassName in class PluginInfo<Command>

loadClass

public Class<? extends Command> loadClass()
                                   throws InstantiableException

Description copied from interface: Instantiable

Loads the class corresponding to the objects that are created by Instantiable.createInstance().

Note that this class may not be precisely T.class but instead a subclass thereof.

Specified by:

loadClass in interface Instantiable<Command>

Overrides:

loadClass in class PluginInfo<Command>

Throws:

InstantiableException

See Also:

for an example of an {@code Instantiable} type that typically instantiates objects of a subtype of {@code T} rather than {@code T} itself.

createInstance

public Command createInstance()
                       throws InstantiableException

Description copied from interface: Instantiable

Creates an object.

Specified by:

createInstance in interface Instantiable<Command>

Overrides:

createInstance in class PluginInfo<Command>

Throws:

InstantiableException

getInput

public CommandModuleItem<?> getInput(String name)

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the input item with the given name.

Specified by:

getInput in interface ModuleInfo

getInput

public <T> CommandModuleItem<T> getInput(String name,
                                Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the input item with the given name and type.

Specified by:

getInput in interface ModuleInfo

getOutput

public CommandModuleItem<?> getOutput(String name)

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the output item with the given name.

Specified by:

getOutput in interface ModuleInfo

getOutput

public <T> CommandModuleItem<T> getOutput(String name,
                                 Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the output item with the given name and type.

Specified by:

getOutput in interface ModuleInfo

inputs

public Iterable<ModuleItem<?>> inputs()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the list of input items.

Specified by:

inputs in interface ModuleInfo

outputs

public Iterable<ModuleItem<?>> outputs()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the list of output items.

Specified by:

outputs in interface ModuleInfo

getDelegateClassName

public String getDelegateClassName()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the fully qualified name of the class containing the module's actual implementation. By definition, this is the same value returned by createModule().getDelegateObject().getClass().getName(), and hence is also the class containing any callback methods specified by ModuleItem.getCallback().

The nature of this method is implementation-specific; for example, a CommandModule will return the class name of its associated Command. For modules that are not commands, the result may be something else.

If you are implementing this interface directly, a good rule of thumb is to return the class name of the associated Module (i.e., the same value given by createModule().getClass().getName()).

Specified by:

getDelegateClassName in interface ModuleInfo

loadDelegateClass

public Class<?> loadDelegateClass()
                           throws ClassNotFoundException

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Loads the class containing the module's actual implementation. The name of the loaded class will match the value returned by ModuleInfo.getDelegateClassName().

Specified by:

loadDelegateClass in interface ModuleInfo

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

See Also:

Instantiable.loadClass()

createModule

public Module createModule()
                    throws ModuleException

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Instantiates the module described by this module info.

Specified by:

createModule in interface ModuleInfo

Throws:

ModuleException

isInteractive

public boolean isInteractive()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets whether the module is intended to be run interactively. Typically this means its inputs are supposed to be presented in a non-modal dialog box, with Runnable.run() being called whenever any of the values change.

Specified by:

isInteractive in interface ModuleInfo

canPreview

public boolean canPreview()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets whether the module supports previews. A preview is a quick approximation of the results that would be obtained by actually executing the module with Runnable.run(). If this method returns false, then calling Module.preview() will have no effect.

Specified by:

canPreview in interface ModuleInfo

canCancel

public boolean canCancel()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets whether the module condones cancellation. Strictly speaking, any module execution can be canceled during preprocessing, but this flag is a hint that doing so may be a bad idea, and the UI may want to disallow it. If this method returns false, then calling Module.cancel() will have no effect.

Specified by:

canCancel in interface ModuleInfo

canRunHeadless

public boolean canRunHeadless()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets whether the module condones headless execution. Strictly speaking, there is no guarantee that any module will work headless just because it declares itself so, but this flag hints that headless execution is likely to succeed (if flag is true), or fail (if flag is false).

Specified by:

canRunHeadless in interface ModuleInfo

getInitializer

public String getInitializer()

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Gets the function that is called to initialize the module's values.

Specified by:

getInitializer in interface ModuleInfo

update

public void update(EventService eventService)

Description copied from interface: ModuleInfo

Notifies interested parties that the module info has been modified. This mechanism is useful for updating any corresponding user interface such as menu items that are linked to the module.

For classes implementing this interface directly, this method should publish a ModulesUpdatedEvent to the event bus (see AbstractModuleInfo.update(EventService) for an example).

Specified by:

update in interface ModuleInfo

getTitle

public String getTitle()

Description copied from interface: UIDetails

Gets an appropriate title for the object, for use in a user interface. The result is prioritized as follows:

1. Item label
2. Menu path's leaf entry name
3. Item name
4. Item's class name, without package prefix

Specified by:

getTitle in interface UIDetails

Overrides:

getTitle in class AbstractUIDetails

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Description copied from interface: Validated

Gets whether the object is completely valid (i.e., no problems during initialization).

Specified by:

isValid in interface Validated

getProblems

public List<ValidityProblem> getProblems()

Description copied from interface: Validated

Gets the list of problems encountered while initializing the object.

Specified by:

getProblems in interface Validated

Returns:

The list of problems, or a zero-length list in the case of Validated.isValid() returning true.

getIdentifier

public String getIdentifier()

Description copied from interface: Identifiable

Gets a string intended to function as an identifier for the object.

Specified by:

getIdentifier in interface Identifiable

Overrides:

getIdentifier in class PluginInfo<Command>
