# Package org.eclipse.team.core

package org.eclipse.team.core
Application programming interfaces for defining and working with repository providers.

## Package Specification

This package specifies the API for defining repository providers. A repository provider supports the sharing of projects in the local Eclipse workspace with remote locations managed by a particular type of repository system. Additional facilities included in this API exist for the mapping and unmapping of a repository provider to a project, the definition of a project set serializer for sharing workspace setup, and the management of global ignore patterns and content type determination for files.

Class
Description
DefaultRepositoryProviderType
ICache
A cache that is associated with a synchronization that allows clients to cache synchronization state related to their model for the duration of the operation.
ICacheListener
Listener that, when registered with a cache, gets invoked when the cache is disposed.
IFileContentManager
This is the API to define mappings between file names, file extensions and content types, typically used by repository providers in order to determine whether a given file can be treated as text or must be considered binary.
IFileTypeInfo
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Use the `IFileContentManager` API instead.
IIgnoreInfo
An ignore info specifies both the pattern and the enabled state of a globally ignored pattern.
IProjectSetSerializer
Deprecated.
Use `RepositoryProviderType.getProjectSetCapability()` to obtain an instance of `ProjectSetCapability` instead.
IStringMapping
A simple interface for mappings from a string (usually a file name or a file extension) and a content type (typically `Team.TEXT`, `Team.BINARY` or `Team.UNKNOWN`.
ITeamStatus
Defines the status codes used in the status of exceptions and errors relating to Team.
ProjectSetCapability
An object for serializing and deserializing references to projects.
ProjectSetSerializationContext
The context in which project serialization occurs.
RepositoryProvider
A concrete subclass of `RepositoryProvider` is created for each project that is associated with a repository provider.
RepositoryProviderType
This class represents things you can ask/do with a type of provider.
ScmUrlImportDescription
Describes how a bundle import will be executed.
Team
The Team class provides a global point of reference for the global ignore set and the text/binary registry.
TeamException
This exception is thrown by the team provider API.
TeamStatus
Status that is returned from some Team operations or is the payload of some TeamExceptions.
