public class ElementDeltas
extends java.lang.Object
IElementDeltas.
Given a delta, clients can access the element that has changed, and any
children that have changed.
Note that, despite having a dependency on IResourceDelta
and IMarkerDelta, this class can safely be used even when
org.eclipse.core.resources bundle is not available.
This is based on the "outward impression" of late resolution of
symbolic references a JVM must provide according to the JVMS.

EMPTY_ARRAY
A zero-length array of the runtime type
IElementDelta[]. |
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
static IElementDelta |
findDelta(IElementDelta delta,
IElement element)
Finds and returns the delta for the given element in a delta subtree
(subtree root included), or
null if no such delta can be
found. |
static IElementDelta[] |
getAddedChildren(IElementDelta delta)
Returns element deltas for the immediate children that have been added.
|
static IElementDelta[] |
getAffectedChildren(IElementDelta delta)
Returns element deltas for all affected (added, removed, or changed)
immediate children.
|
static IElementDelta[] |
getChangedChildren(IElementDelta delta)
Returns element deltas for the immediate children that have been changed.
|
static IElement |
getElement(IElementDelta delta)
Returns the element that the delta describes a change to.
|
static long |
getFlags(IElementDelta delta)
Returns flags which describe in more detail how an element has changed.
|
static int |
getKind(IElementDelta delta)
Returns the kind of the element delta.
|
static org.eclipse.core.resources.IMarkerDelta[] |
getMarkerDeltas(IElementDelta delta)
Returns the changes to markers on the corresponding resource of the
delta's element.
|
static IElement |
getMovedFromElement(IElementDelta delta)
Returns an element describing the delta's element before it was moved
to its current location, or
null if the F_MOVED_FROM change flag is not set. |
static IElement |
getMovedToElement(IElementDelta delta)
Returns an element describing the delta's element in its new location,
or
null if the F_MOVED_TO change flag is not set. |
static IElementDelta[] |
getRemovedChildren(IElementDelta delta)
Returns element deltas for the immediate children that have been removed.
|
static org.eclipse.core.resources.IResourceDelta[] |
getResourceDeltas(IElementDelta delta)
Returns the changes to children of the delta element's corresponding
resource that cannot be described in terms of element deltas.
|
static boolean |
isEmpty(IElementDelta delta)
Returns whether the element delta is empty,
i.e., represents an unchanged element.
|
static boolean |
isNullOrEmpty(IElementDelta delta)
Returns whether the element delta is
null or empty. |
static boolean |
isStructuralChange(IElementDelta delta)
Returns whether the element delta designates a structural change,
i.e., a change that affects or might affect the element tree
as opposed to only the element itself.
|
static java.lang.String |
toString(IElementDelta delta,
IContext context)
Returns a string representation of the element delta in a form suitable
for debugging purposes.

For example:
if ((flags & F_CONTENT) != 0) // a content change
Some change flags make sense for most models and are predefined in
IElementDeltaConstants, while others are model-specific and are
defined by the model implementor. The range for model-specific change
flags starts from 1L << 32 and includes the upper 32 bits of the
long value. The lower 32 bits are reserved for predefined
generic change flags.
Move operations are indicated by special change flags. If an element is
moved from A to B (with no other changes to A or B), then A will have
kind REMOVED, with flag F_MOVED_TO, and getMovedToElement on A will return
the handle for B. B will have kind ADDED, with flag
F_MOVED_FROM, and getMovedFromElement on B will return the handle for A. (Note that the
handle for A in this case represents an element that no longer exists.)

null if no such delta can be

This is a convenience method to avoid manual traversal of the delta tree in cases where the listener is only interested in changes to particular elements. Calling this method will generally be faster than manually traversing the delta to a particular descendant.

Returns null if no markers changed. Note that this is
an exception to the general convention of returning an empty array
rather than null. This makes the method safe to call
even when org.eclipse.core.resources bundle is not
available.
Note that marker deltas, like element deltas, are generally only valid for the dynamic scope of change notification. Clients must not hang on to these objects.

Returns null if there were no such changes. Note that this
is an exception to the general convention of returning an empty array
rather than null. This makes the method safe to call even
when org.eclipse.core.resources bundle is not available.
Note that resource deltas, like element deltas, are generally only valid for the dynamic scope of change notification. Clients must not hang on to these objects.

ToStringOptions and
interpret the FORMAT_STYLE as follows:
