handleMessage
public void handleMessage(EBMessage message)
- Handles a message sent on the EditBus.
This method must specify the type of responses the plugin will have
for various subclasses of the
EBMessage
class. Typically
this is done with one or more if
blocks that test
whether the message is an instance of a derived message class in
which the component has an interest. For example:
if(msg instanceof BufferUpdate) {
// a buffer's state has changed!
}
else if(msg instanceof ViewUpdate) {
// a view's state has changed!
}
// ... and so on
- Parameters:
message
