Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Specified by:
getName in interface IEnvironmentVariable
Returns:
the variable name

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()
Specified by:
getValue in interface IEnvironmentVariable
Returns:
the variable value

getOperation

public int getOperation()
Specified by:
getOperation in interface IEnvironmentVariable
Returns:
one of the IBuildEnvironmentVariable.ENVVAR_* operation types

getDelimiter

public java.lang.String getDelimiter()
Specified by:
getDelimiter in interface IEnvironmentVariable
Returns:
if the variable can hold the list of values this method returns the String representing the delimiter that is used to separate values. This information is used for the following: 1. in append and prepend operations: If the variable already exists and contains some value the new value will be calculated in the following way: For the "prepend" operation: = For the "append" operation: = The Environment Variable Provider will also remove the duplicates of "sub-values" in the resulting value. For example: If the current value is "string1:string2:string3", the getDelimiter() method returns ":" and getValue() method returns "string4:string2" the new value will contain: For the "prepend" operation: "string4:string2:string1:string3" For the "append" operation: "string1:string3:string4:string2" 2. Since the environment variables are also treated as build macros the delimiter is also used by the BuildMacroProvider to determine the type of the macro used to represent the given environment variable. If the variable has the delimiter it is treated as the Text-List macro otherwise it is treated as the Text macro. (See Build Macro design for more details) To specify that no delimiter should be used, the getDelimiter() method should return null or an empty string

clone
