Interface CreateFromTemplateAttributesProvider

Deprecated.

Use CreateFromTemplateAttributes in openide.filesystems.templates instead.

public interface CreateFromTemplateAttributesProvider

This is an interface for smart templating. Implementations of this class can be registered in the global Lookup and allows anyone provide additional parameters to each CreateFromTemplateHandlers when a template is instantiating. Read more in the howto document.

Since templating system need not to depend on Data Systems APIs, the relevant interfaces were moved to the openide.filesystems.templates module. This interface has been kept for backward compatibility and DataSystems provide a compatibility bridge, which allows old providers to participate. Module writers are encouraged to implement CreateFromTemplateAttributes instead.

Since:

6.3, deprecated from 7.59
