PathExportingManager
The path exporting manager facilitates exporting various workspace types to files, prompting the user to provide locations to save to
Exporting the current workspace
The currently open workspace can be exported to a user-provided path like so:
try { pathExportingManager.exportCurrent(); }
catch (IllegalStateException ex) { /* no workspace open */ }
Exporting a specific workspace
Any workspace instance can also be exported:
// Delegates to export(workspace, "workspace", true)
pathExportingManager.export(workspace);
// Prompts the user to:
// - Alert them if the workspace has no changes recorded in it (seeL alertWhenEmpty)
// - Provide a location to save the workspace to (if you loaded a jar, you should probably provide a location like "export.jar")
boolean alertWhenEmpty = false;
String description = "some files"; // Used in logger output so that we see "exported 'some files' to %PATH%"
pathExportingManager.export(workspace, description, alertWhenEmpty);
Exporting a specific class/file
Specific Info
types like JvmClassInfo
and FileInfo
can also be exported to user-provided paths:
pathExportingManager.export(classInfo);
pathExportingManager.export(fileInfo);
