question about resource traversal in eclipse [message #332872]

Greetings all,
What's the preferred method of traversing resources in eclipse, i.e. user
right clicks on a directory, selects menu item to perform some action on
each resource in that directory and all subdirs? I'd like to simply get a
List of all resources for a dir and its subdirs. Just checking to see what's
built into the framework before going down the recursion route.

thanks!

marc

You need to create a IResourceVisitor and call the IFolder.accept() method

awesome. that was what i was hoping to hear.

is this "idiom" documented with examples anywhere? the reason I ask is that
in order to even learn this was a possible approach, I basically stumbled
through other people's code that appeared to do something similar to what i
want to do, and that seemed awfully inefficient to me. I wasn't able to find
any non-API documentation on this though.

thanks.

The book "Contributing to Eclipse" by Gamma and Beck has a section on it
(here's the Google Books link:
http://books.google.com/books?id=0X6wZRd5OOQC&pg=PA301&a mp;lpg=PA301&dq=eclipse+resource+visitor)

This article (available on the Resources page of www.eclipse.org) talks
about it in the context of resource change events:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Resource-deltas/reso urce-deltas.html

Personally, I work with a full SDK build of Eclipse so all of the
platform and "core" plugins have source included. That way I can easily
find uses of any API that I'm interested in to look at for examples.

Hope this helps,
Eric

that helps a lot, Eric. I find that once I realize "the Eclipse way", I'm
often struck by how simple things are. It's finding "the way" that hangs me
up a lot.

thanks.
