org.eclipse.update.core
Interface IArchiveReference

All Superinterfaces:
IAdaptable
All Known Implementing Classes:
ArchiveReference

public interface IArchiveReference
extends IAdaptable

Site archive interface. Site archive is a representation of a packaged archive (file) located on an update site. It allows a "symbolic" path used to identify a plug-in or non-plug-in feature entry to be explicitly mapped to a specific URL.

Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients should directly instantiate or subclass the provided implementation of this interface.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

2.0
