org.eclipse.xtend.lib.macro.file.Path

@Beta
public final class Path
extends java.lang.Object

A path points to some file or folder within a FileSystemSupport and MutableFileSystemSupport. A path either starts with a slash which denotes an absolute path or a segment which denotes a relative path. Note that this is an abstraction over different 'real' file systems and doesn't understand platform specific things like, e.g. "c:/" on windows. The path segment separator is '/'.

ROOT

public static final Path ROOT

the root path

Constructor Detail

Path

public Path(java.lang.String pathAsString)

Constructs a new Path object from a given string. the used file separator is '/' and a leading one indicates an absolute path.

Parameters:

pathAsString -

Method Detail

isAbsolute

public boolean isAbsolute()

Returns:

whether this is an absolute path

getSegments

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getSegments()

Returns:

the segments

getLastSegment

public java.lang.String getLastSegment()

Returns:

the trailing segment, i.e. the simple name of the underlying element.

append

public Path append(java.lang.String suffix)

Appends the given suffix to this path.

Parameters:

suffix - the suffix to append to this path

Returns:

a new Path with the given suffix appended to this path's segments.

getParent

public Path getParent()

Returns the parent of this path or null if this path is the root path.

Returns:

the parent of this path or null if this path is the root path.

getFileExtension

public java.lang.String getFileExtension()

Returns:

the file extension or null if this path's last segment doesn't have a file extension.

getAbsolutePath

public Path getAbsolutePath(java.lang.String relativePath)

Parameters:

relativePath -

Returns:

the absolute path

getAbsolutePath

public Path getAbsolutePath(Path relativePath)

Parameters:

relativePath -

Returns:

the absolute path

relativize

public Path relativize(java.lang.String other)

See relativize(Path)

Parameters:

other - a string representing a path

Returns:

the resulting relative path or null if neither of the given paths is a prefix of the other

relativize

public Path relativize(Path other)

Constructs a relative path between this path and a given path.

Relativization is the inverse of resolution. This method attempts to construct a relative path that when resolved against this path, yields a path that locates the same file as the given path. For example, on UNIX, if this path is "/a/b" and the given path is "/a/b/c/d" then the resulting relative path would be "c/d". Both paths must be absolute and and either this path or the given path must be a prefix of the other.

Parameters:

other - the path to relativize against this path

Returns:

the resulting relative path or null if neither of the given paths is a prefix of the other

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this path and other are not both absolute or relative

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(Path other)

Returns whether this path starts with the same segments and has the same isAbsolute() value.

Parameters:

other - the path, which might be a prefix of this path

Returns:

whether the given path is a prefix of this path

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object
