Class VersionRange

java.lang.Object
org.osgi.framework.VersionRange
public class VersionRange extends Object
Version range. A version range is an interval describing a set of versions.

A range has a left (lower) endpoint and a right (upper) endpoint. Each endpoint can be open (excluded from the set) or closed (included in the set).

VersionRange objects are immutable.

    • VersionRange

      public VersionRange(char leftType, Version leftEndpoint, Version rightEndpoint, char rightType)
      Creates a version range from the specified versions.
      Parameters:
      leftType - Must be either LEFT_CLOSED or LEFT_OPEN .
      leftEndpoint - Left endpoint of range. Must not be null.
      rightEndpoint - Right endpoint of range. May be null to indicate the right endpoint is Infinity.
      rightType - Must be either RIGHT_CLOSED or RIGHT_OPEN.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If the arguments are invalid.

    • VersionRange

      public VersionRange(String range)
      Creates a version range from the specified string.

      Version range string grammar: 

       range ::= interval | atleast
 interval ::= ( '[' | '(' ) left ',' right ( ']' | ')' )
 left ::= version
 right ::= version
 atleast ::= version
      Parameters:
      range - String representation of the version range. The versions in the range must contain no whitespace. Other whitespace in the range string is ignored. Must not be null.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If range is improperly formatted.

  • Method Details

    • getLeft

      public Version getLeft()
      Returns the left endpoint of this version range.
      Returns:
      The left endpoint.

    • getRight

      public Version getRight()
      Returns the right endpoint of this version range.
      Returns:
      The right endpoint. May be null which indicates the right endpoint is Infinity.

    • getLeftType

      public char getLeftType()
      Returns the type of the left endpoint of this version range.
      Returns:
      LEFT_CLOSED if the left endpoint is closed or LEFT_OPEN if the left endpoint is open.

    • getRightType

      public char getRightType()
      Returns the type of the right endpoint of this version range.
      Returns:
      RIGHT_CLOSED if the right endpoint is closed or RIGHT_OPEN if the right endpoint is open.

    • includes

      public boolean includes(Version version)
      Returns whether this version range includes the specified version.
      Parameters:
      version - The version to test for inclusion in this version range.
      Returns:
      true if the specified version is included in this version range; false otherwise.

    • intersection

      public VersionRange intersection(VersionRange... ranges)
      Returns the intersection of this version range with the specified version ranges.
      Parameters:
      ranges - The version ranges to intersect with this version range.
      Returns:
      A version range representing the intersection of this version range and the specified version ranges. If no version ranges are specified, then this version range is returned.

    • isEmpty

      public boolean isEmpty()
      Returns whether this version range is empty. A version range is empty if the set of versions defined by the interval is empty.
      Returns:
      true if this version range is empty; false otherwise.

    • isExact

      public boolean isExact()

      true if this version range contains only a single version; false otherwise.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns the string representation of this version range.

      The format of the version range string will be a version string if the right end point is Infinity (null) or an interval string.

      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      The string representation of this version range.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code value for the object.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      An integer which is a hash code value for this object.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object object)
      Compares this VersionRange object to another object.

      A version range is considered to be equal to another version range if both the endpoints and their types are equal or if both version ranges are empty.

      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      object - The VersionRange object to be compared.
      Returns:
      true if object is a VersionRange and is equal to this object; false otherwise.

    • toFilterString

      public String toFilterString(String attributeName)
      Returns the filter string for this version range using the specified attribute name.
      Parameters:
      attributeName - The attribute name to use in the returned filter string.
      Returns:
      A filter string for this version range using the specified attribute name.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If the specified attribute name is not a valid attribute name.
      See Also:
      • "Core Specification, Filters, for a description of the filter string syntax."

    • valueOf

      public static VersionRange valueOf(String range)
      Returns a VersionRange object holding the version range in the specified String.

      See VersionRange(String) for the format of the version range string.

      Parameters:
      range - String representation of the version range. The versions in the range must contain no whitespace. Other whitespace in the range string is ignored. Must not be null.
      Returns:
      A VersionRange object representing the version range.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If range is improperly formatted.
