Enum EdtReplacementThread

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<EdtReplacementThread>

com.intellij.openapi.application.EdtReplacementThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<EdtReplacementThread>

public enum EdtReplacementThread
extends java.lang.Enum<EdtReplacementThread>

The new threading model revokes the IDE model access from EDT. Hence, the code which executed previously on EDT falls into one of three categories:

1. Code working with Swing and other UI
2. Code working with the model (read, write)
3. Code doing both things during one Swing event

This enum represents this classification and aids in preserving compatibility with the code designed with the old threading model in mind.

Enum Constant Detail

EDT

public static final EdtReplacementThread EDT

Mark code which works with UI as "to run on EDT"

WT

public static final EdtReplacementThread WT

Mark code which works with the IDE model as "to run on Write Thread"

EDT_WITH_IW

public static final EdtReplacementThread EDT_WITH_IW

Mark code which works both with UI and with the IDE model as "to run on EDT with IW lock acquired"

Method Detail

values

public static EdtReplacementThread[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (EdtReplacementThread c : EdtReplacementThread.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static EdtReplacementThread valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
