Constructor Detail

### Compare

    public Compare()

Method Detail

### add

    public void add(ResourceComparator c)

  Add a ResourceComparator to this Compare selector. If multiple ResourceComparators are added, they will be processed in LIFO order.

  Parameters:
    `c` - the ResourceComparator to add.

### setAgainst

    public void setAgainst(Quantifier against)

  Set the quantifier to be used. Default "all".

  Parameters:
    `against` - the Quantifier EnumeratedAttribute to use.

### setWhen

    public void setWhen(Comparison when)

  Set the comparison to be used. Default "equal".

  Parameters:
    `when` - the Comparison EnumeratedAttribute to use.

### createControl

    public ResourceCollection createControl()

  Create the nested control element. These are the resources to compare against.

  Returns:
    ResourceCollection.

### isSelected

    public boolean isSelected(Resource r)

  Return true if this Resource is selected.

  Specified by:
    `isSelected` in interface `ResourceSelector`
  Parameters:
    `r` - the Resource to check.
  Returns:
    whether the Resource was selected.

### dieOnCircularReference

    protected void dieOnCircularReference(java.util.Stack stk,
                                          Project p)
                                   throws BuildException

  Overrides the version from DataType to recurse on nested ResourceComparators.

  Overrides:
    `dieOnCircularReference` in class `DataType`
  Parameters:
    `stk` - the stack of data types to use (recursively).
    `p` - the project to use to dereference the references.
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error.
