Provides the context for an IResourceMappingMerger or a model specific synchronization view that supports merging.

The diff tree associated with this context may be updated asynchronously in response to calls to any method of this context (e.g. merge and markAsMerged methods) that may result in changes in the synchronization state of resources. It may also get updated as a result of changes triggered from other sources. Hence, the callback from the diff tree to report changes may occur in the same thread as the method call or asynchronously in a separate thread, regardless of who triggered the refresh. Clients of this method (and any other asynchronous method on this context) may determine if all changes have been collected using IJobManager.find(Object) using this context as the family argument in order to determine if there are any jobs running that are populating the diff tree. Clients may also call IJobManager.join(Object, IProgressMonitor) if they wish to wait until all background handlers related to this context are finished.

@noimplementThis interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. Clients should instead subclass MergeContext.

public int getMergeType();
Method that allows the model merger to signal that the file associated with the given diff node has been completely merged. Model mergers can call this method if they have transfered all changes from a remote file to a local file and wish to signal that the merge is done. This will allow repository providers to update the synchronization state of the file to reflect that the file is up-to-date with the repository.

For two-way merging, this method can be used to reject any change. For three-way merging, this method should only be used when remote content in being merged with local content (i.e. the file exists both locally and remotely) with the exception that it can also be used to keep local changes to a file that has been deleted. See the merge(IDiff[], boolean, IProgressMonitor) method for more details. For other cases in which either the local file or remote file does not exist, one of the merge methods should be used. This is done to accommodate repositories that have special handling for file additions, removals and moves. Invoking this method with a diff node associated with a folder will have no effect.

The inSyncHint allows a client to indicate to the context that the model persisted in the file is in-sync. If the hint is true, the context should compare the local and remote file at the content level and make the local file in-sync with the remote if the contents are the same.

Params:
  • node – the diff node whose file has been merged
  • inSyncHint – a hint to the context that the model persisted in the file is in-sync.
  • monitor – a progress monitor
Throws:

public void markAsMerged(IDiff node, boolean inSyncHint, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException;
Mark the files associated with the given diff nodes as being merged. This method is equivalent to calling markAsMerged(IDiff, boolean, IProgressMonitor) for each diff but gives the context the opportunity to optimize the operation for multiple files.

This method will batch change notification by using the run(IWorkspaceRunnable, ISchedulingRule, int, IProgressMonitor) method. The rule for he method will be obtained using getMergeRule(IDiff) and the flags will be IResource.NONE meaning that intermittent change events may occur. Clients may wrap the call in an outer run that either uses a broader scheduling rule or the IWorkspace.AVOID_UPDATES flag.

Params:
  • nodes – the nodes to be marked as merged
  • inSyncHint – a hint to the context that the model persisted in the file is in-sync.
  • monitor – a progress monitor
Throws:

Method that can be called by the model merger to attempt a file-system level merge. This is useful for cases where the model merger does not need to do any special processing to perform the merge. By default, this method attempts to use an appropriate IStorageMerger to merge the files covered by the provided traversals. If a storage merger cannot be found, the text merger is used. If this behavior is not desired, sub-classes of MergeContext may override this method.

This method does a best-effort attempt to merge of the file associated with the given diff. A file that could not be merged will be indicated in the returned status. If the status returned has the code MergeStatus.CONFLICTS, the list of failed files can be obtained by calling the MergeStatus#getConflictingFiles() method.

It is not expected that clients of this API will associate special meaning with the existence of a folder other than the fact that it contains files. The sync delta tree should still include folder changes so that clients that have a one-to-one correspondence between their model objects and folders can decorate these elements appropriately. However, clients of this API will only be expected to perform operations on file deltas and will expect folders to be created as needed to contain the files (i.e. implementations of this method should ignore any folder deltas in the provided deltas). Clients will also expect local folders that have incoming folder deletions to be removed once all the folder's children have been removed using merge.

There are two special cases where merge is meaningful for folders. First, a merge on a local added empty folder with force set should delete the folder. However, the folder should not be deleted if it has any local children unless merge is called for those resources first and they end up being deleted as a result. Second, a merge on an incoming folder addition should create the empty folder locally.

It is not expected that clients of this API will be capable of dealing with namespace conflicts. Implementors should ensure that any namespace conflicts are dealt with before the merger is invoked.

The deltas provided to this method should be those obtained from the tree (ISynchronizationContext.getDiffTree()) of this context. Any resource changes triggered by this merge will be reported through the resource delta mechanism and the change notification mechanisms of the delta tree associated with this context.

For two-way merging, as indicated by either the ISynchronizationContext.getType() or getMergeType() methods, clients can either accept changes using the merge(IDiff[], boolean, IProgressMonitor) method or reject them using markAsMerged(IDiff, boolean, IProgressMonitor). Three-way changes are a bit more complicated. The following list summarizes how particular remote file changes can be handled. The delta kind and flags mentioned in the descriptions are obtained the remote change (see IThreeWayDiff.getRemoteChange()), whereas conflicts are indicated by the three-way delta itself.
