| <h1>Eclipse 3.4 Java Debug Build Notes</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Summary of API changes in 3.4</h2> |
| <h3>Java Launch Shortcuts</h3> |
| <p> |
| The core Java launch shortcuts are available to be extended/reused. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The following classes are provided as API in the package <code>org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.launchConfigurations</code>: |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>JavaAppletLaunchShortcut</code> - the standard implementation for Java applets, used in the platform</li> |
| <li><code>JavaApplicationLaunchShortcut</code> - the standard implementation for Java application, used in the platform</li> |
| <li><code>JavaLaunchShortcut</code> - an abstract implementation of a shortcut to launch Java artifacts, used as the parent class to the two aforementioned classes</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The methods exposed to consumers from the parent class <code>JavaLaunchShortcut</code> and through the |
| two subclasses are: |
| <ul> |
| <li> <code>getConfigurationType()</code> - returns the type of configuration this shortcut creates</li> |
| <li> <code>createConfiguration(IType type)</code> - creates a launch configuration for the specified <code>IType</code></li> |
| <li> <code>chooseType(IType[] types, String title)</code> - allows an <code>IType</code> to be selected from the given list</li> |
| <li> <code>findTypes(Object[] elements, IRunnableContext context)</code> - searches for specific <code>IType</code>s from the given list of elements</li> |
| <li> <code>getTypeSelectionTitle()</code> - returns the title for the type selection dialog used by the shortcuts for user input</li> |
| <li> <code>getEditorEmptyMessage()</code> - returns the error message displayed to users who try to use one of the shortcuts on an empty editor</li> |
| <li> <code>getSelectionEmptyMessage()</code> - returns the error message displayed to users who try to use the shortcut on an empty selection</li> |
| <li> <code>findLaunchConfiguration(IType type, ILaunchConfigurationType configType)</code> - searches for a launch configuration associated with the specified <code>IType</code> and configuration type</li> |
| <li> <code>chooseConfiguration(List configList)</code> - selects a specific configuration from the specified listing</li> |
| <li> <code>getShell()</code> - returns the shell used for the Java launch shortcuts</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Support for Execution Environment Descriptions</h3> |
| <p>An installed JRE can be defined by an <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Execution_Environment_Descriptions">execution |
| environment description file</a>. The API for <code>IVMInstallType</code> and |
| <code>IVMInstall</code> have been augmented to allow for a file to be specified |
| for an install location in addition to a home directory. The 'Standard VM Install |
| Type' shipped with the Eclipse SDK supports standard ".ee" files.</p> |
| <p>This change effects the following methods in <code>IVMInstallType</code>, which |
| now accept the location of a description file as well as a home directory.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>public IStatus validateInstallLocation(File installLocation)</code></li> |
| <li><code>public LibraryLocation[] getDefaultLibraryLocations(File installLocation)</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>This change effects the following methods in <code>IVMInstall</code>, which |
| can now accept/return a file as well as home directory.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>public File getInstallLocation()</code></li> |
| <li><code>public void setInstallLocation(File installLocation)</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>A new method has been added to <code>AbstractVMInstallType</code> to allow |
| default arguments to be provided for newly created VM installs. Ideally, this |
| method would be added to <code>IVMInstallType</code>, but to support binary |
| compatibility, the method has only been added to <code>AbstractVMInstallType</code>. |
| Existing subclasses may override as required. The method is consulted to initialize |
| VM arguments when a new Installed JRE is created by the user. This new method |
| accepts a home directory or definition file as an argument.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>public String getDefaultVMArguments(File installLocation)</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>As well, the specification of the following method in <code>AbstractVMInstallType</code> |
| has been changed to allow a file to be supplied as an argument.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>public URL getDefaultJavadocLocation(File installLocation)</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3>Support for setting a range of values in array objects</h3> |
| <p>API has been added to <code>IJavaArray</code> to support setting ranges of |
| values in the arrays. It is more efficient to set a range of values at once |
| than setting each value in an array individually as it uses fewer communications |
| with the virtual machine being debugger. The following methods have been added |
| to <code>IJavaArray</code>.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>public void setValues(IJavaValue[] values)</code></li> |
| <li><code>public void setValues(int offset, int length, IJavaValue[] values, |
| int startOffset)</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3>New API methods on IJavaDebugTarget</h3> |
| <p>The following API methods have been added to IJavaDebugTarget.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>public boolean supportsSelectiveGarbageCollection()</code></li> |
| <li><code>public String getVMName()</code></li> |
| <li><code>public String getVersion()</code></li> |
| </ul> |
