| <h3>File system providers</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| By default, the <tt>org.eclipse.core.filesystem</tt> plug-in only includes a file system |
| implementation for the local file system. Plug-ins can contribute implementations |
| for other file systems using the |
| <b><a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_core_filesystem_filesystems.html">org.eclipse.core.filesystem.filesystems</a></b> |
| extension point. File system providers must provide subclasses of |
| <b><a href="../reference/api/org/eclipse/core/filesystem/provider/FileStore.html">FileStore</a></b> |
| and |
| <b><a href="../reference/api/org/eclipse/core/filesystem/provider/FileSystem.html">FileSystem</a></b>. |
| Minimally, all abstract methods must be implemented, but other methods can be |
| overridden to provide more efficient implementations of methods such as copy, |
| move, delete, etc. Refer to the javadoc on these classes for more details on |
| what the default implementations do, and for advice on how and when to override |
| each method. |
