Note that individual platform runnables may be provided with different arguments if they are being run individually rather than with Platform.run().

getContentTypeManager

public static org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.IContentTypeManager getContentTypeManager()

Returns the content type manager.

Since:: 3.0

getDebugOption

public static java.lang.String getDebugOption(java.lang.String option)

Returns the identified option. null is returned if no such option is found. Options are specified in the general form <plug-in id>/<option-path>. For example, org.eclipse.core.runtime/debug

getLocation

public static IPath getLocation()
                         throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Returns the location of the platform working directory.

Callers of this method should consider using getInstanceLocation instead. In various, typically non IDE-related configurations of Eclipse, the platform working directory may not be on the local filesystem. As such, the more general form of this location is as a URL.

getLogFileLocation

public static IPath getLogFileLocation()

Returns the location of the platform log file. This file may contain information about errors that have previously occurred during this invocation of the Platform. It is recommended not to keep this value, as the log location may vary when an instance location is being set. s Note: it is very important that users of this method do not leave the log file open for extended periods of time. Doing so may prevent others from writing to the log file, which could result in important error messages being lost. It is strongly recommended that clients wanting to read the log file for extended periods should copy the log file contents elsewhere, and immediately close the original file.

getPlugin

public static Plugin getPlugin(java.lang.String id)

Deprecated. This method only works if the compatibility layer is installed and must not be used otherwise. See the comments on IPluginDescriptor.getPlugin() 55 for details.

Returns the plug-in runtime object for the identified plug-in or null if no such plug-in can be found. If the plug-in is defined but not yet activated, the plug-in will be activated before being returned.

Note: This method is only able to find and return plug-in objects for plug-ins described using plugin.xml according to the traditional Eclipse conventions. Eclipse 3.0 permits plug-ins to be described in manifest.mf files and to define their own bundle activators. Such plug-ins cannot be discovered by this method.

getPluginRegistry

public static IPluginRegistry getPluginRegistry()

Deprecated. IPluginRegistry was refactored in Eclipse 3.0. This method only works if the compatibility layer is installed and must not be used otherwise. See the comments on IPluginRegistry and its methods for details.

Returns the plug-in registry for this platform.

getPluginStateLocation

public static IPath getPluginStateLocation(Plugin plugin)

Returns the location in the local file system of the plug-in state area for the given plug-in. The platform must be running.

The plug-in state area is a file directory within the platform's metadata area where a plug-in is free to create files. The content and structure of this area is defined by the plug-in, and the particular plug-in is solely responsible for any files it puts there. It is recommended for plug-in preference settings.

getProtectionSpace

public static java.lang.String getProtectionSpace(java.net.URL resourceUrl)

Returns the protection space (realm) for the specified resource, or null if the realm is unknown.

removeLogListener

public static void removeLogListener(ILogListener listener)

Removes the indicated (identical) log listener from the notification list of the platform. If no such listener exists, no action is taken.

resolve

public static java.net.URL resolve(java.net.URL url)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Returns a URL which is the resolved equivalent of the supplied URL. This method is expected to be used with the plug-in-relative URLs returned by IPluginDescriptor, Bundle.getEntry() and Platform.find().

If the specified URL is not a plug-in-relative URL, it is returned as is. If the specified URL is a plug-in-relative URL, this method attempts to reduce the given URL to one which is native to the Java class library (eg. file, http, etc).

Note however that users of this API should not assume too much about the results of this method. While it may consistently return a file: URL in certain installation configurations, others may result in jar: or http: URLs.

run

public static void run(ISafeRunnable runnable)

Runs the given runnable in a protected mode. Exceptions thrown in the runnable are logged and passed to the runnable's exception handler. Such exceptions are not rethrown by this method.

getJobManager

Returns a URL for the given path in the given bundle. Returns null if the URL could not be computed or created.

find looks for this path in given bundle and any attached fragments. null is returned if no such entry is found. Note that there is no specific order to the fragments.

The following arguments may also be used

     $nl$ - for language specific information
     $os$ - for operating system specific information
     $ws$ - for windowing system specific information

A path of $nl$/about.properties in an environment with a default locale of en_CA will return a URL corresponding to the first place about.properties is found according to the following order:

     plugin root/nl/en/CA/about.properties
     fragment1 root/nl/en/CA/about.properties
     fragment2 root/nl/en/CA/about.properties
     ...
     plugin root/nl/en/about.properties
     fragment1 root/nl/en/about.properties
     fragment2 root/nl/en/about.properties
     ...
     plugin root/about.properties

public static java.lang.String getResourceString(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle,
                                                 java.lang.String value)

Returns a resource string corresponding to the given argument value. If the argument value specifies a resource key, the string is looked up in the default resource bundle for the given runtime bundle. If the argument does not specify a valid key, the argument itself is returned as the resource string. The key lookup is performed in the file referenced in the Bundle-Localization header of the bundle manifest. If a resource string corresponding to the key is not found in the resource bundle the key value, or any default text following the key in the argument value is returned as the resource string. A key is identified as a string begining with the "%" character. Note, that the "%" character is stripped off prior to lookup in the resource bundle.

Equivalent to getResourceString(bundle, value, getResourceBundle())

Since:: 3.0

getResourceString

public static java.lang.String getResourceString(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle,
                                                 java.lang.String value,
                                                 java.util.ResourceBundle resourceBundle)

Returns a resource string corresponding to the given argument value and resource bundle in the given runtime bundle. If the argument value specifies a resource key, the string is looked up in the given resource bundle. If the argument does not specify a valid key, the argument itself is returned as the resource string. The key lookup is performed against the specified resource bundle. If a resource string corresponding to the key is not found in the resource bundle the key value, or any default text following the key in the argument value is returned as the resource string. A key is identified as a string begining with the "%" character. Note that the "%" character is stripped off prior to lookup in the resource bundle.

For example, assume resource bundle plugin.properties contains name = Project Name

     getResourceString("Hello World") returns "Hello World"
     getResourceString("%name") returns "Project Name"
     getResourceString("%name Hello World") returns "Project Name"
