Method Detail

createBuilder() Method

public ILanguageBuilder createBuilder()
Allows an IDocument implementation to return an ILanguageBuilder that will be used for construction of its parse tree. For example, JavaCompilerDriver returns a JavaBuilder instance, which is used to build the standard java parse tree.

Returns

an object implementing the ILangaugeBuilder interface.

getAvailableFeatures() Method

public Class[] getAvailableFeatures()
Allows an IDocument implementation to specify which compiler features should be supported for that document type. Features specified by this method may be accessed via CompilerSvc.get().getFeature.

Returns

an array of classes that implement the IFeature interface.

isFeatureAvailable(Class) Method

public boolean isFeatureAvailable(Class featureClass)
Determines whether the given feature is in the available features list for this driver.

Parameters

featureClass
The class object for the feature in question.

Returns

true if featureClass is an available feature.
