Constructor Details

PrototypesContainer

public PrototypesContainer()

Method Details

getDefinitions

public Collection<PrototypeDefinition> getDefinitions()

Return an unmodifiable Collection of the current Prototype Definitions

Returns:

PrototypeDefinition Collection

getAttributeDescriptions

public String[] getAttributeDescriptions()

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Return an array of Strings describing the attributes of this object. These strings are used as prompts in the Properties window for this object.

Specified by:

getAttributeDescriptions in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeDescriptions in class AbstractConfigurable

Returns:

an array of Strings describing the buildFile (XML) attributes of this component. These strings are used as prompts in the Properties window for this object, when the component is configured in the Editor. The order of descriptions should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

getAttributeTypes

public Class<?>[] getAttributeTypes()

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Return the Class for the attributes of this object. Valid classes are: String, Integer, Double, Boolean, Image, File, Color, and KeyStroke

Specified by:

getAttributeTypes in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeTypes in class AbstractConfigurable

Returns:

the Class for the buildFile (XML) attributes of this component. Valid classes include: String, Integer, Double, Boolean, Image, Color, and KeyStroke, along with any class for which a Configurer exists in VASSAL.configure. The class determines, among other things, which type of AutoConfigurer will be used to configure the attribute when the object is configured in the Editor. The order of classes should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

getAttributeNames

public String[] getAttributeNames()

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Lists all the buildFile (XML) attribute names for this component. If this component is ALSO an AbstractConfigurable, then this list of attributes determines the appropriate attribute order for AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeDescriptions() and AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes().

Specified by:

getAttributeNames in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeNames in class AbstractBuildable

Returns:

a list of all buildFile (XML) attribute names for this component

getAttributeValueString

public String getAttributeValueString(String key)

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Called by the Buildable.getBuildElement(org.w3c.dom.Document) method to write the attributes into an XML element

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in interface Translatable

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Returns:

a String representation of the XML buildFile attribute with the given name. When initializing a module, this String value will loaded from the XML and passed to AbstractBuildable.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object). It is also frequently used for checking the current value of an attribute.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String key,
 Object value)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Sets a buildFile (XML) attribute value for this component. The key parameter will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames(). If the value parameter is a String, it will be the value returned by AbstractBuildable.getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String) for the same key. If the implementing class extends AbstractConfigurable, then value will be an instance of the corresponding Class listed in AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes()

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface Translatable

Specified by:

setAttribute in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

value - If the value parameter is a String, it will be the value returned by AbstractBuildable.getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String) for the same key. If the implementing class extends AbstractConfigurable, then value can also be an instance of the corresponding Class listed in AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes()

getConfigurer

public Configurer getConfigurer()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

The default Configurer of an AbstractConfigurable class is an instance of AutoConfigurer

Specified by:

getConfigurer in interface Configurable

Overrides:

getConfigurer in class AbstractConfigurable

Returns:

Configurer for this component

addTo

public void addTo(Buildable parent)

Description copied from interface: Buildable

Adds this component to its parent. In order to make Buildable objects extensible, the child is responsible for adding itself to the parent. That way, Buildable subcomponents can be defined in an extension package without needing to modify the containing class.

Parameters:

parent - parent Buildable to add this component to as a subcomponent.

getAllowableConfigureComponents

public Class<?>[] getAllowableConfigureComponents()

Returns:

a list of valid sub-component Classes. If a Class appears in this list, then instances of that class may be added to this component from the Editor's ConfigureTree window by right-clicking on the component and selecting the appropriate "Add" option.

getConfigureTypeName

public static String getConfigureTypeName()

addDefinition

public void addDefinition(PrototypeDefinition def)

add

public void add(Buildable b)

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

Set the owning translatable of this component

Specified by:

add in interface Buildable

Overrides:

add in class AbstractConfigurable

Parameters:

b - Child to attach to this buildable as a subcomponent

getHelpFile

public HelpFile getHelpFile()

Returns:

a HelpFile describing how to use and configure * this component

removeFrom

public void removeFrom(Buildable parent)

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Remove this component from its parent

findInstance

public static PrototypesContainer findInstance()

resetCache

public void resetCache()

getPrototype

public static PrototypeDefinition getPrototype(String name)

getI18nData

public ComponentI18nData getI18nData()

Specified by:

getI18nData in class AbstractConfigurable

Returns:

the i18n data for this component

isMandatory

public boolean isMandatory()

Description copied from interface: Buildable

Is this component a reqired component within its parent?

Returns:

true if component is mandatory

isUnique
