14 Application programming interfaces for Java search participants..
16 <h2> Package Specification</h2>
17 The package provides API that allows clients to participate in Java searches. A Java search query is specified by a
18 <TT>QuerySpecification</TT>
20 <TT>ElementQuerySpecification</TT>
21 if searching for a specific
24 <TT>PatternQuerySpecification</TT>
25 when searching for a string pattern.
26 <P>Clients who want to participate in Java search queries should implement <TT>IQueryParticipant</TT>. A query participant interprets a <TT>QuerySpecification</TT> and reports matches to a <TT>ISearchRequestor</TT>. If a query participant wishes to report matches against elements that are not <TT>IResources</TT> or <TT>IJavaElements</TT>, it has to implement a <TT>IMatchPresentation</TT> to render these elements.</P>
