All known Subclasses: org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.schema.EditableSchema,
| IEditable | | public interface IEditable (Code) | | Models that implement this interface indicate that
they can be changed. When a model is changed,
it becomes 'dirty'. This state can either be reset
(in case of a 'false alarm' or naturally set to
false as a result of saving the changes.
Models that implement this interface are expected
to be able to save in ASCII file format
(e.g. XML).

| Method Summary | |
| public boolean | isDirty()
Tests whether the model has been changed from the last clean
state. | | public boolean | isEditable()
Tests whether the model marked as editable can be
edited. | | public void | save(PrintWriter writer)
Saves the model into the provided writer. | | void | setDirty(boolean dirty)
Sets the dirty flag of the model. |
| isDirty | | public boolean isDirty()(Code) | | Tests whether the model has been changed from the last clean
state.
true if the model has been changed and need saving |
| isEditable | | public boolean isEditable()(Code) | | Tests whether the model marked as editable can be
edited. Even though a model is generally editable,
it can me marked as read-only because some condition
prevents it from changing state (for example,
the underlying resource is locked). While
read-only models can never be changed, editable
models can go in and out editable state during
their life cycle.
true if model can be modified, falseotherwise. |
| save | | public void save(PrintWriter writer)(Code) | | Saves the model into the provided writer.
The assumption is that the model can be
persisted in an ASCII output stream (for example, an XML file).
This method should clear the 'dirty' flag when
done.
Parameters:
writer - an object that should be used towrite ASCII representation of the model |
| setDirty | | void setDirty(boolean dirty)(Code) | | Sets the dirty flag of the model. This method is
normally not intended to be used outside the model.
Most often, a dirty model should be saved to clear the flag.
Parameters:
dirty - a new value for the 'dirty' flag |
