Interface ILaunchConfigurationDelegate2

All Superinterfaces:
ILaunchConfigurationDelegate
All Known Implementing Classes:
LaunchConfigurationDelegate

public interface ILaunchConfigurationDelegate2
extends ILaunchConfigurationDelegate

Optional enhancements to the launch configuration delegate interface. Allows launch delegates to abort a launch, build relevant projects in the workspace before a launch, and create the launch object to be used in a launch.

Clients implementing ILaunchConfigurationDelegate may also implement this interface.

Since:
3.0

Method Summary
 boolean buildForLaunch(ILaunchConfiguration configuration, String mode, IProgressMonitor monitor)
          Optionally performs any required building before launching the given configuration in the specified mode, and returns whether the debug platform should perform an incremental workspace build before the launch continues.
 boolean finalLaunchCheck(ILaunchConfiguration configuration, String mode, IProgressMonitor monitor)
          Returns whether a launch should proceed.
 ILaunch getLaunch(ILaunchConfiguration configuration, String mode)
          Returns a launch object to use when launching the given launch configuration in the given mode, or null if a new default launch object should be created by the debug platform.
 boolean preLaunchCheck(ILaunchConfiguration configuration, String mode, IProgressMonitor monitor)
          Returns whether a launch should proceed.

Method Detail

getLaunch

public ILaunch getLaunch(ILaunchConfiguration configuration,
                         String mode)
                  throws CoreException
Returns a launch object to use when launching the given launch configuration in the given mode, or null if a new default launch object should be created by the debug platform. If a launch object is returned, its launch mode must match that of the mode specified in this method call.

Parameters:
configuration - the configuration being launched
mode - the mode the configuration is being launched in
Returns:
a launch object or null
Throws:
CoreException - if unable to launch

buildForLaunch

public boolean buildForLaunch(ILaunchConfiguration configuration,
                              String mode,
                              IProgressMonitor monitor)
                       throws CoreException
Optionally performs any required building before launching the given configuration in the specified mode, and returns whether the debug platform should perform an incremental workspace build before the launch continues. If false is returned the launch will proceed without further building, and if true is returned an incremental build will be performed on the workspace before launching.

This method is only called if the launch is invoked with flag indicating building should take place before the launch. This is done via the method ILaunchConfiguration.launch(String mode, IProgressMonitor monitor, boolean build).

Parameters:
configuration - the configuration being launched
mode - the mode the configuration is being launched in
monitor - progress monitor
Returns:
whether the debug platform should perform an incremental workspace build before the launch
Throws:
CoreException - if an exception occurrs while building

finalLaunchCheck

public boolean finalLaunchCheck(ILaunchConfiguration configuration,
                                String mode,
                                IProgressMonitor monitor)
                         throws CoreException
Returns whether a launch should proceed. This method is called after preLaunchCheck() and buildForLaunch() providing a final chance for this launch delegate to abort a launch if required. For example, a delegate could cancel a launch if it discovered compilation errors that would prevent the launch from succeeding.

Parameters:
configuration - the configuration being launched
mode - launch mode
monitor - progress monitor
Returns:
whether the launch should proceed
Throws:
CoreException - if an exception occurs during final checks

preLaunchCheck

public boolean preLaunchCheck(ILaunchConfiguration configuration,
                              String mode,
                              IProgressMonitor monitor)
                       throws CoreException
Returns whether a launch should proceed. This method is called first in the launch sequence providing an opportunity for this launch delegate to abort the launch.

Parameters:
configuration - configuration being lanuched
mode - launch mode
monitor - progress monitor
Returns:
whether the launch should proceed
Throws:
CoreException - if an exception occurs while performing pre launch checks
