org.eclipse.emf.edit.command
Class RemoveCommand

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.emf.common.command.AbstractCommand
      org.eclipse.emf.edit.command.AbstractOverrideableCommand
          org.eclipse.emf.edit.command.RemoveCommand

All Implemented Interfaces:

Command, OverrideableCommand

public class RemoveCommand

extends AbstractOverrideableCommand

The remove command logically acts upon an owner object that has a collection-type feature from which objects can be removed. The static create methods delegate command creation to EditingDomain.createCommand, which may or may not result in the actual creation of an instance of this class.

The implementation of this class is low-level and EMF specific; it allows one or more objects to be removed from a many-valued feature of an owner. i.e., it is equivalent of the call

   ((EList)((EObject)owner).eGet((EStructuralFeature)feature)).removeAll((Collection)collection);
 

It can also be used as an equivalent to the call

   ((EList)extent).removeAll((Collection)collection);
 

which is how root objects are removed from the contents of a resource. Like all the low-level comands in this package, the remove command is undoable.

A remove command is an OverrideableCommand.

Field Detail

LABEL

protected static final String LABEL

This caches the label.

DESCRIPTION

protected static final String DESCRIPTION

This caches the description.

DESCRIPTION_FOR_LIST

protected static final String DESCRIPTION_FOR_LIST

This caches the description for a list-based command.

owner

protected EObject owner

This is the owner object upon which the command will act. It could be null, in the case that we are dealing with an EList.

feature

protected EStructuralFeature feature

This is the feature of the owner object upon the command will act. It could be null, in the case that we are dealing with an EList.

ownerList

protected EList ownerList

This is the list from which the command will remove.

collection

protected Collection collection

This is the collection of objects being removed.

indices

protected int[] indices

These are the indices at which to reinsert the removed objects during an undo so as to achieve the original list order.

affectedObjects

protected Collection affectedObjects

The is the value returned by Command.getAffectedObjects(). The affected objects are different after an execute than after an undo, so we record it.
