    SHRINKWRAP-112 - Create a Unified Importer API

    aslak

      We continue the discussion from [SHRINKWRAP-112|https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SHRINKWRAP-112] This is the current unified API description.

       

      {code} package org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.importer; import java.io.File; import java.net.URL; import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.Assignable; /** * A Unified Import API to handle delegation to the appropriate importer. * ie: {@link ZipImporter} or {@link ExplodedImporter} * * @author <a href="mailto:aslak@conduct.no">Aslak Knutsen</a> * @version $Revision: $ */ public interface Import extends Assignable {    //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||    // Contracts --------------------------------------------------------------------------||    //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||    /**     * Imports this path.     *     * Overloads {@link #from(File)}.     *     * @param path     * @return     * @throws ArchiveImportException     */    Import from(String path) throws ArchiveImportException;       /**     * Imports the resource at the given {@link File}.     *     * Both files and directories are supported.     *     * @param file     * @return     * @throws ArchiveImportException     */    Import from(File file) throws ArchiveImportException;       /**     * Imports the resource at the given {@link URL}.     *     * Overloads {@link #from(File)} if this is a file:// {@link URL}.     *     * @param url     * @return     * @throws ArchiveImportException     */    Import from(URL url) throws ArchiveImportException; } {code}

       

      [Current impl|http://shrinkwrap.pastebin.com/m58f16a3a] works in the following way: * from(String) ** from(new File(String)) * from(File) ** if File.isFile -> (should delegate to a lookup of a supported importer(based on extension?)) -> ZipImporter ** if File.isDirectory -> ExplodedImporter * from(URL) ** if URL.getProtocol == file:// -> from(new File(url)) ** if URL.getName -> (should delegate to a lookup of a supported importer(based on extension?)) -> ZipImporter

       

      The big questions are: * what should from(String) do? * any missing common objects we should support in from(?)? ** InputStream?
