public abstract class AbstractProposalSorter
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator
org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.javaCompletionProposalSorters
extension point.
Subclasses need to implement compare(ICompletionProposal, ICompletionProposal)
and may
override beginSorting
and
endSorting
.
The orderings imposed by a subclass need not be consistent with equals.
Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.Modifier | Constructor and Description |
