org.eclipse.update.search
Interface IUpdateSearchSite

All Superinterfaces:

IUpdateSiteAdapter

public interface IUpdateSearchSite

extends IUpdateSiteAdapter

This interface is used to represent sites that need to be searched within the search scope. In addition to being an update site adapter, it also returns an array of categories within the site that need not be searched (skipping categories makes the search faster because fewer features need to be checked and potentially downloaded from the server).

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Since:

3.0
