Method Summary

Method Detail

getIcon

java.lang.Object getIcon(IResourceIdentifier pId)

Can return a custom icon for the linked element.

Parameters:

pId - the resource identifier

Returns:

an ImageDescriptor, Image or null if no custom image can be provided

getParentResourceID

java.lang.String getParentResourceID(java.lang.String pId)

Gets the ID of the parent resource.

While this method usually returns a physical resource ID (e.g. an absolute OS file path), AWM will also check whether the ID equals the ID of the active AWM application. In that case, AWM triggers a refresh of the application children. This can be used to refresh the root containers level of an application.

Parameters:

pId - the identifier for the main resource (which is a child of the resource ID to be returned) or the ID of the active AWM application

Returns:

the parent resource ID or null if no parent resource can be identified
