      Since:
      1.5

    • openResult

      protected boolean openResult
      Flag that indicates if the created export result should be opened after the export is finished.
      Since:
      1.5

      protected boolean exportSucceeded
      Flag that indicates that the export succeeded. Used to determine whether the export result can be opened or not.
      Since:
      1.5

    • preRender

      protected boolean preRender

  • Constructor Details

    • NatExporter

      public NatExporter(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell shell)
      Create a new NatExporter.
      Parameters:
      shell - The Shell that should be used to open sub-dialogs and perform export operations in a background thread. Can be null but could lead to NullPointerExceptions if IExporter are configured, that use a FileOutputStreamProvider.

    • NatExporter

      public NatExporter(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell shell, boolean executeSynchronously)
      Create a new NatExporter.
      Parameters:
      shell - The Shell that should be used to open sub-dialogs and perform export operations in a background thread. Can be null but could lead to NullPointerExceptions if IExporter are configured, that use a FileOutputStreamProvider.
      executeSynchronously - Configure whether the export should be performed asynchronously or synchronously. By default the decision whether the execution should be performed synchronously or not is made based on whether a Shell is set or not. If a Shell is set and this flag is set to true the execution is performed synchronously.
