| API for clipboard-oriented copy/paste services that are customizable for |
| metamodel-specific semantics. For invocation of the copy/paste functionality, |
| see {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.ClipboardUtil}. |
| |
| <h2>Package Specification</h2> |
| <p> |
| The primary mechanism for customization of a meta-model's copy/paste requirements |
| is the {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.IClipboardSupport} |
| interface. Where this interface is not sufficient to control copy/paste |
| behaviour, the specialization of the following classes is permitted to define |
| custom copy and paste operations: |
| <ul> |
| <li>{@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.OverrideCopyOperation}: |
| for special copying behaviour. This class inherits a number of useful |
| operations from the |
| {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.CopyOperation} class to |
| find out about the objects that the user selected for copying, additional |
| objects required my the <code>IClipboardSupport</code>, and the |
| relationships between them. It also has methods for adding elements to be |
| copied</li> |
| <li>{@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.OverridePasteChildOperation}: |
| for special pasting behaviour. This class inherits a wealth of useful |
| operations from the |
| {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.PasteChildOperation} class to |
| find out about the objects that the user selected for copying, additional |
| objects required my the <code>IClipboardSupport</code>, and the |
| relationships between them. It also has methods do find which elements have |
| failed to paste, to paste additional elements (including handling paste |
| collisions), etc.</li> |
| </ul> |
