canPerformEdits

public boolean canPerformEdits()

Checks if the processor can execute all its edits.

Returns:

true if the edits can be executed. Return false otherwise. One major reason why edits cannot be executed are wrong offset or length values of edits. Calling perform in this case will very likely end in a BadLocationException.

performEdits

public UndoEdit performEdits()
                      throws MalformedTreeException,
                             org.eclipse.jface.text.BadLocationException

Executes the text edits.

Returns:

an object representing the undo of the executed edits

Throws:

MalformedTreeException - is thrown if the edit tree isn't in a valid state. This exception is thrown before any edit is executed. So the document is still in its original state.

org.eclipse.jface.text.BadLocationException - is thrown if one of the edits in the tree can't be executed. The state of the document is undefined if this exception is thrown.

considerEdit

protected boolean considerEdit(TextEdit edit)

Tells whether this processor considers the given edit.

Note that this class isn't intended to be subclassed.

Parameters:

edit - the text edit

Returns:

true if this processor considers the given edit
