| <P>Provides the framework for the parser service. |
| Given an {@link org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable IAdaptable} hint, the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.parser.ParserService ParserService} |
| class contains a method to return a parser for the IAdaptable. |
| This is performed using the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.parser.GetParserOperation |
| GetParserOperation}. From this method, the ParserService class provides |
| implementations of convenience methods to obtain text for the IAdaptable and to |
| determine whether or not the IAdaptable can be edited. Flags for the parser |
| service may be defined in an interface with constants such as {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.parser.CommonParserHint |
| CommonParserHint} or using a convenience wrapper such as {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.parser.ParserOptions |
| ParserOptions}.</P> |
| |
| <h2>Using this Package</h2> |
| <P>To implement a parser provider, implement {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.parser.IParserProvider |
| IParserProvider}, typically subclassing {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service.AbstractProvider}. For on demand loading, |
| consider implementing {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service.IProviderPolicy |
| IProviderPolicy} and in particular the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service.IProviderPolicy#provides(org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service.IOperation) |
| provides()} method. To implement the parser to be returned by the |
| IParserProvider, implement the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.parser.IParser IParser} |
| interface.</P> |
