Interface IMetadataRepository
- All Superinterfaces:
IAdaptable,IQueryable<IInstallableUnit>,IRepository<IInstallableUnit>
- All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractMetadataRepository
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. Metadata repository
implementations must subclass AbstractMetadataRepository rather than
implementing this interface directly.
- Since:
- 2.0
- Restriction:
- This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. Instead subclass
AbstractMetadataRepository

Method Details
-
addInstallableUnits
Add the given installable units to this repository.- Parameters:
installableUnits- the installable units to add
-
addReferences
Adds references to another repository to this repository. When a repository is loaded by
IMetadataRepositoryManager, its references are automatically added to the repository manager's set of known repositories.Note that this method does not add the contents of the given repositories to this repository, but merely adds the location of other repositories to the metadata of this repository.
- Parameters:
references- The references to add
-
getReferences
Collection<IRepositoryReference> getReferences()Returns the repositories that this repository is referencing.- Returns:
- An immutable collection of repository references, possibly empty but never
null.
-
removeReferences
Removes from this repository the given references to other repositories.- Since:
- 2.8
-
removeInstallableUnits
Removes all installable units in the given collection from this repository.- Parameters:
installableUnits- the installable units to remove- Returns:
trueif any units were actually removed, andfalseotherwise
-
removeAll
void removeAll()Remove all installable units from this repository. -
executeBatch
Executes a runnable against this repository. It is up to the repository implementor to determine what "batch process" means, for example, it may mean that the repository index is not stored until after the runnable completes. The runnable should not execute anything in a separate thread.- Parameters:
runnable- The runnable to executemonitor- A progress monitor that will be passed to the runnable- Returns:
- The result of running the runnable. Any exceptions thrown during the execution will be returned in the status.
-
compress
Cause semantically equivalent IInstallableUnits in the receiver to be replaced with a shared object from the providedIPool. New objects are added to theIPoolas required.While the
IPoolshould be retained to increase the scope of sharing when callingcompress(IPool)on subsequent repositories, theIPoolcan be discarded without adversely effecting the receiver.- Since:
- 2.1
