Refactoring Contributions

Identifier:

org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.refactoringContributions

Since:

3.2

Description:

The extension point is used to define refactoring contributions. Refactoring contributions provide a means to dynamically construct a ready-to-execute refactoring instance based on a RefactoringDescriptor.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension (contribution*)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id CDATA #IMPLIED

name CDATA #IMPLIED>

point - a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point
id - an optional identifier of the extension instance
name - an optional name of the extension instance

<!ELEMENT contribution EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST contribution

id CDATA #REQUIRED

class CDATA #REQUIRED>

id - The globally unique id of the contributed refactoring type. The id is usually a fully qualified identifier composed from the name of the contributing plugin and a unique identifier of the refactoring, e.g. org.eclipse.ltk.core.renameResource.
class - The fully qualified name of a refactoring contribution implementation which extends org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.RefactoringContribution.

Examples:

The example below defines a refactoring contribution implemented by class RenameResourceRefactoringContribution for the rename resource refactoring with unique id org.eclipse.ltk.core.rename.resource:


   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.refactoringContributions">
      <contribution
            class="org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.RenameResourceRefactoringContribution"
            id="org.eclipse.ltk.core.rename.resource"/>
   </extension>

API Information:

The contributed implementation class must extend org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.RefactoringContribution
