Enclosing class:

MetaDef

public static class MetaDef.Plugin
extends MetaDef.Definition

A Plugin in a special type of element whose content may be derived from a different model.

The Plugin element automatically defines the defPackage and defClass attributes. Other attributes may be added as needed. Code and documentation sections are supported as well.

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: NodeDef

Returns the name of this node's tag.

Specified by:

getName in interface NodeDef

Overrides:

getName in class MetaDef.Definition

display

public void display(PrintWriter _out,
                    int _indent)

Description copied from interface: NodeDef

Outputs this node to any PrintWriter, in a formatted fashion with automatic indenting.

Specified by:

display in interface NodeDef

Overrides:

display in class MetaDef.Definition

Parameters:

_out - the PrintWriter to which to write this NodeDef.

_indent - the indentation level for the printout.

displayXML

public void displayXML(XMLOutput _out,
                       int _indent)

Description copied from interface: NodeDef

Outputs this element definition in XML to any XMLOutput.

Specified by:

displayXML in interface NodeDef

Overrides:

displayXML in class MetaDef.Definition

Parameters:

_out - the XMLOutput class to display the XML

displayDiff

public boolean displayDiff(ElementDef _other,
                           PrintWriter _out,
                           int _indent)

Description copied from class: ElementDef

The displayDiff function compares this element definition against another, compiling a message containing all diffs. It is used internally by the equals(), diff(), and verifyEquals() functions.

Overrides:

displayDiff in class MetaDef.Definition

Parameters:

_other - the ElementDef to which to compare this element.

_out - a PrintWriter to which to display any discovered differences, or null if just doing an equality check (and no diff report is needed).

_indent - the current indentation level (used for nice display of diffs).

Returns:

true if this and other match exactly, false if not.
