This is a temporary class to ease the transition from the previous validation framework.

This is not API.

Method Summary
`void` `addMessage(IValidator origin, IMessage message)` Add a locale-independent validation message.
`void` `displaySubtask(IValidator validator, IMessage message)` Show a text representation of this message, formatted in the default Locale, to the user immediately.
`java.util.List<IMessage>` `getMessages()`
`boolean` `isCancelled()` Return true if the user canceled validation, and false otherwise.
`void` `makeMarkers()`
`void` `removeAllMessages(IValidator origin)` Remove all validation messages entered by the identified validator.
`void` `removeAllMessages(IValidator origin, java.lang.Object object)` Remove all validation messages, entered by the identified validator, pertaining to the Object provided.

Constructor Detail

### ReporterHelper

    public ReporterHelper(IProgressMonitor monitor)

Method Detail

### addMessage

    public void addMessage(IValidator origin,
                           IMessage message)

  Description copied from interface: `IReporter`

  Add a locale-independent validation message. It will be displayed later, with all of the other validation messages.

  The IValidator passed in is needed for incremental validation (when a message needs to be removed, one validator should not remove messages entered by another validator.) The validator is also queried for information about its resource bundle, to enable support for localization of messages in a client-server environment.

  Both parameters must not be null.

  Specified by:
    `addMessage` in interface `IReporter`
  Parameters:
    `origin` - The validator which is the source of the message.
    `message` - A message to be reported.

### displaySubtask

    public void displaySubtask(IValidator validator,
                               IMessage message)

  Description copied from interface: `IReporter`
  Show a text representation of this message, formatted in the default Locale, to the user immediately. This message indicates which subtask is currently being processed. The message is not stored. The subtask message in this context is the subtask in a IProgressMontior

  Both parameters must not be null.

  Specified by:
    `displaySubtask` in interface `IReporter`
  Parameters:
    `validator` - The validator issuing the subtask message.
    `message` - The message to be displayed to the user.

### getMessages

    public java.util.List<IMessage> getMessages()

  Specified by:
    `getMessages` in interface `IReporter`
  Returns:
    the message access interface to this reporter, or null if message access is not supported.

### isCancelled

    public boolean isCancelled()

  Description copied from interface: `IReporter`
  Return true if the user canceled validation, and false otherwise. This method should be called by IValidators periodically, because no event is fired to notify IValidators that the user canceled validation. If a validator does not check this method, a cancellation request is ignored.

  Specified by:
    `isCancelled` in interface `IReporter`
  Returns:
    true if the user canceled validation, and false otherwise.

### removeAllMessages

    public void removeAllMessages(IValidator origin)

  Description copied from interface: `IReporter`
  Remove all validation messages entered by the identified validator. This method is provided for incremental validation.

  The IValidator parameter must not be null.

  Specified by:
    `removeAllMessages` in interface `IReporter`
  Parameters:
    `origin` - Originator validator of the message.

### removeAllMessages

    public void removeAllMessages(IValidator origin,
                                  java.lang.Object object)

  Description copied from interface: `IReporter`
  Remove all validation messages, entered by the identified validator, pertaining to the Object provided. This method is provided for incremental validation.
  If `object` is null, then this method should remove all messages owned by the validator. (i.e., the same behaviour as the removeAllMessages(IValidator) method.)

  The IValidator parameter must not be null.

  Specified by:
    `removeAllMessages` in interface `IReporter`
  Parameters:
    `origin` - Originator validator of the message.
    `object` - Object to which the message belongs. Object is the target object that was set on the IMessage when adding the message as problem marker.

### removeMessageSubset

    public void removeMessageSubset(IValidator validator,
                                    java.lang.Object obj,
                                    java.lang.String groupName)

  Description copied from interface: `IReporter`
  To support removal of a subset of validation messages, an IValidator may assign group names to IMessages. An IMessage subset will be identified by the name of its group. This method will remove only the IMessage's that are in the group identified by groupName.

  The IValidator parameter must not be null.

  If `object` is null, then this method should remove all messages owned by the validator. (i.e., the same behaviour as the removeAllMessages(IValidator) method.)

  If groupName is null, that's the same as no group (i.e., the same behaviour as the `removeAllMessages(IValidator, Object)` method.)

  Specified by:
    `removeMessageSubset` in interface `IReporter`
  Parameters:
    `validator` - Originator validator of the message.
    `obj` - Object to which the message belongs.
    `groupName` - Name of the group to which the message belongs.

### makeMarkers

    public void makeMarkers()
