Method Detail

matching

PluginCollection<T> matching(Spec<? super T> spec)
Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

Specified by:
matching in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
Parameters:
spec - The specification to use.
Returns:
The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.

getByName

T getByName(java.lang.String name)
                           throws UnknownPluginException
Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object.

Specified by:
getByName in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
Parameters:
name - The object name
Returns:
The object with the given name. Never returns null.
Throws:
UnknownPluginException

withType

<S extends T> PluginCollection<S> withType(java.lang.Class<S> type)
Returns a collection containing the objects in this collection of the given type. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are later added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

Specified by:
withType in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
Parameters:
type - The type of objects to find.
Returns:
The matching objects. Returns an empty set if there are no such objects in this collection.

whenPluginAdded

Action<? super T> whenPluginAdded(Action<? super T> action)
Adds an Action to be executed when a plugin is added to this collection.

Parameters:
action - The action to be executed
Returns:
the supplied action

whenPluginAdded

void whenPluginAdded(groovy.lang.Closure closure)
Adds a closure to be called when a plugin is added to this collection. The plugin is passed to the closure as the parameter.

Parameters:
closure - The closure to be called

allPlugins

void allPlugins(Action<? super T> action)
Executes the given action against all plugins in this collection, and any plugins subsequently added to this collection.

Parameters:
action - The action to be executed

getAt

T getAt(java.lang.String name)
                       throws UnknownPluginException
Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such task. This method is identical to DomainObjectCollection.getByName(String). You can call this method in your build script by using the groovy [] operator.

Specified by:
getAt in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
Parameters:
name - The object name
Returns:
The object with the given name. Never returns null.
Throws:
