Interface GeneratingCompiler

All Superinterfaces:

Compiler, IntermediateOutputCompiler, ValidityStateFactory

All Known Subinterfaces:

Deprecated.

this interface is part of the obsolete build system which runs as part of the IDE process. Since IDEA 15 implementations of this class aren't used by the IDE, you should integrate into 'external build system' instead (http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/reference_guide/frameworks_and_external_apis/external_builder_api.html).

Method Detail

getGenerationItems

GeneratingCompiler.GenerationItem[] getGenerationItems(CompileContext context)

Deprecated.

Returns the list of all the files this compiler can generate.

Parameters:

context - the current compile context.

Returns:

items describing all the files this compiler can generate.

generate

GeneratingCompiler.GenerationItem[] generate(CompileContext context,
                                             GeneratingCompiler.GenerationItem[] items,
                                             VirtualFile outputRootDirectory)

Deprecated.

Invokes the generation process.

Parameters:

context - the current compile context.

items - what items to generate.

outputRootDirectory - the root directory under which the items are generated (the paths in GeneratingCompiler.GenerationItem.getPath() are relative to that directory). All files generated by the compiler must be placed in that directory or its subdirectories, otherwise they will not be compiled properly on subsequent build steps.

Returns:

successfully generated items
