Constructor Detail

### Archives

    public Archives()

Method Detail

### createZips

    public Union createZips()

  Wrapper to identify nested resource collections as ZIP archives.

### createTars

    public Union createTars()

  Wrapper to identify nested resource collections as ZIP archives.

### size

    public int size()

  Sums the sizes of nested archives.

  Specified by:
    `size` in interface `ResourceCollection`
  Returns:
    number of elements as int.

### iterator

    public java.util.Iterator iterator()

  Merges the nested collections.

  Specified by:
    `iterator` in interface `ResourceCollection`
  Returns:
    an Iterator of Resources.

### isFilesystemOnly

    public boolean isFilesystemOnly()

  Description copied from interface: `ResourceCollection`
  Indicate whether this ResourceCollection is composed entirely of Resources accessible via local filesystem conventions. If true, all Resources returned from this ResourceCollection should be instances of FileResource.

  Specified by:
    `isFilesystemOnly` in interface `ResourceCollection`
  Returns:
    false

### setRefid

    public void setRefid(Reference r)

  Overrides the base version.

  Overrides:
    `setRefid` in class `DataType`
  Parameters:
    `r` - the Reference to set.

### clone

    public java.lang.Object clone()

  Implement clone. The nested resource collections are cloned as well.

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `DataType`
  Returns:
    a cloned instance.

### grabArchives

    protected java.util.Iterator grabArchives()

  Turns all nested resources into corresponding ArchiveFileSets and returns an iterator over the collected archives.

### configureArchive

    protected ArchiveFileSet configureArchive(ArchiveFileSet afs,
                                              Resource src)

  Configures the archivefileset based on this type's settings, set the source.

### dieOnCircularReference

    protected void dieOnCircularReference(java.util.Stack stk,
                                          Project p)
                                   throws BuildException

  Overrides the version of DataType to recurse on all DataType child elements that may have been added.

  Overrides:
    `dieOnCircularReference` in class `DataType`
  Parameters:
    `stk` - the stack of data types to use (recursively).
    `p` - the project to use to dereference the references.
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error.
