Description
External Execution Support | |
---|---|
org.netbeans.api.extexecution | The API supporting execution of an external process in the IDE. |
org.netbeans.api.extexecution.input | The support API for processing the growing streams or files. |
org.netbeans.api.extexecution.print | The support API extending the capabalities of input processing. |
org.netbeans.spi.extexecution.destroy | The support SPI for terminating external processes. |
The External Execution module provides the ExternalExecutionAPI that contains support for execution of external processes in the IDE. It also provide support class for the actual creation of the external process and support for destroying the process tree.
Another exported API ExternalExecutionInputAPI define interfaces for input processing (character or line based) and provides common implementations of these with factory methods.
Natural extension to input processing API is printing API
ExternalExecutionInputPrintingAPI
that defines interfaces transforming lines to lines printed to
org.openide.windows.OutputWriter
. API provides common implementations too.
There is also SPI allowing to register support for destroying the process tree ExternalExecutionDestroySPI.
Added configuration method to ExecutionDescriptor to make reset of IO optional for custom IO.
Added API/SPI support to kill the whole process tree on Process.destroy().
Published as a stable API. Refactored to API packages.
First initial release of the External Execution API.
Added charset() method to ExecutionDescriptor to configure the charset used to decode process streams.
Client needs to execute an external process and handle process streams and display the output in the output tab.
In order to achieve this client creates the ExecutionDescriptor. Via this object client configures all the UI behaviour of the subsequent execution. As a next step client creates the ExecutionService itself and calls run to execute the job. Run can be called multiple times. The output and input streams are presented in output tab. Additional processing and printing conversion can be configured in descriptor through interfaces described in following usecases.
The creation of the external process is supported by ExternalProcessBuilder to make things easier.
Client needs to process character data coming from stream, file or other source.
To abstract the source of the data client must implement InputReader. To abstract the data processing client must implement InputProcessor or LineProcessor. For all three interfaces there are prepared common implementations (and bridge from character based to line based processing) at these three factory classes:
To configure additional functionality specific to org.openide.windows.OutputWriter
see the next usecase.
Once the data source and processing objects are prepared client creates InputReaderTask. Factory methods of the InputReaderTask can create either common task exiting on interruption or cancellation or draining task which is trying to drain out all available data before exiting.
Client intends to process input lines and print them to org.openide.windows.OutputWriter
.
In addition printed lines should be transformed (converted) somehow
and enriched by line listeners.
The both default printing processors provide factory method accepting LineConvertor. Namely InputProcessors.printing(org.openide.windows.OutputWriter out, LineConvertor convertor, boolean resetEnabled) and LineProcessors.printing(org.openide.windows.OutputWriter out, LineConvertor convertor, boolean resetEnabled). Convertor is then used to convert received lines to printed ones. Common convertors (file, http) are provided in factory class LineConvertors.
Client wants to destroy the process, trying to kill whole process tree. Method ExternalProcessSupport.destroy(java.lang.Process process, Map<String,String> env) is designed for that. It will use a ProcessDestroyPerformer registered in default lookup to do so.
