public interface Discoverer

In the context of model-driven reverse-engineering, a discoverer is a component that injects information into a model to represent physical elements (a source file is considered as a physical element).

Method Detail

isApplicableTo

boolean isApplicableTo(java.lang.Object source)
Deprecated. 
To determine if the source object can be handled by the discoverer. Each discoverer has to implement this method with its own criteria to filter the selected object. If the source object is managed by this discoverer, the discoverer menu will be available in the pop-up menu when users click with the contextual button (right-click), and in the discoverer launch configuration types.

Parameters:
source - the selected object.
Returns:
true if the selected object is managed by this discoverer, false otherwise.

discoverElement

@Deprecated
Resource discoverElement(java.lang.Object source,
                                    URI target)
Deprecated. 

Execute the discovery task from the selected object. This is a method adapted to a common use of discoverers.

Parameters:
source - the selected object.
target - the target URI (can be null)
Returns:
the EMF resource of the target model discovered from source.

getDiscovererParameters

java.util.List<DiscoveryParameter> getDiscovererParameters()
Deprecated. 
Get a complete list of all parameters available in this discoverer. Further information should be provided to indicate features of each parameter; for example, direction kind (in, out, in-out), whether the parameter is optional or not ...

Returns:
the set of parameter names provided by this discoverer.
