Description Svata Dedic 2012-01-25 08:12:11 UTC
ScanUtils represent utilities that help parser Task writers to avoid reporting false errors resulting from incomplete scan. They allow to combine JavaSource.runWhenScanFinished with runUserActionTask so that the action is typically not blocked by a background rescan, but can indicate that current data is incomplete and will be rescheduled after scanning finishes and then restarted.

Thanks Svata. I only looked at the helper methods provided and that looks good. I would suggest to rename "mayBecomeCompleted" into something like "isElementBeingScanned".
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2012-01-26 10:04:07 UTC
Incorporated review items from Dusan & Lahvac.

* wrapper resolve/find methods should be removed
* isElementUsable should move as isErroneous() to ElementUtilities
* methods should work with CompilationInfo rather than with JavaSource
* variant methods added, which work with Source and Parsing API rather than JavaSource
* exception handling cleaned up and unified with Parsing API / Java parser
