Interface EclipseEngine

All Superinterfaces:

EclipseConnection

All Known Implementing Classes:

EmbeddedEclipse, OutOfProcessEclipse

public interface EclipseEngine
extends EclipseConnection

Interface of objects providing "ownership" of an ECLiPSe engine. As well as the functionality provided by the EclipseConnection interface, classes which implement EclipseEngine also allow access to the ECLiPSe engine's standard streams: stdin, stdout and sterr.

• EclipseConnection
• EmbeddedEclipse
• OutOfProcessEclipse

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
FromEclipseQueue	getEclipseStderr()	Return a FromEclipseQueue which allows access to the ECLiPSe engine's stderr stream.
ToEclipseQueue	getEclipseStdin()	Return a ToEclipseQueue which allows access to the ECLiPSe engine's stdin stream.
FromEclipseQueue	getEclipseStdout()	Return a FromEclipseQueue which allows access to the ECLiPSe engine's stdout stream.
boolean	isUsingQueues()	Query the ECLiPSe engine's "use queues" flag.

Method Details

getEclipseStdin

ToEclipseQueue getEclipseStdin()
                        throws EclipseTerminatedException

Return a ToEclipseQueue which allows access to the ECLiPSe engine's stdin stream. Returns null if the ECLiPSe was not set up to use queue objects for its standard streams (see EclipseEngineOptions).

Throws:

EclipseTerminatedException - if the ECLiPSe engine has been destroyed or disconnected.

getEclipseStdout

FromEclipseQueue getEclipseStdout()
                           throws EclipseTerminatedException

Return a FromEclipseQueue which allows access to the ECLiPSe engine's stdout stream. Returns null if the ECLiPSe was not set up to use queue objects for its standard streams (see EclipseEngineOptions).

Throws:

EclipseTerminatedException - if the ECLiPSe engine has been destroyed.

getEclipseStderr

FromEclipseQueue getEclipseStderr()
                           throws EclipseTerminatedException

Return a FromEclipseQueue which allows access to the ECLiPSe engine's stderr stream. Returns null if the ECLiPSe was not set up to use queue objects for its standard streams (see EclipseEngineOptions).

Throws:

EclipseTerminatedException - if the ECLiPSe engine has been destroyed.

isUsingQueues

boolean isUsingQueues()

Query the ECLiPSe engine's "use queues" flag. If true, ECLiPSe's standard streams (stdin, stdout and stderr) have been linked to FromEclipseQueue/ToEclipseQueue objects: if false, they have been linked to the operating system standard streams.
