CompletionTask

All Known Implementing Classes:

AsyncCompletionTask, JythonCompletionTask
```
public interface CompletionTask
```
The inteface of a task performing a code completion query.
The support class org.netbeans.spi.editor.completion.support.AsyncCompletionTask can be used for convenience when the task requires an asynchronous evaluation.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`cancel()` Called by the code completion infrastructure to cancel the task.
`void`	`query(CompletionResultSet resultSet)` Called by the code completion infrastructure to ask the task to do a query and return the results through the given completion listener.
`void`	`refresh(CompletionResultSet resultSet)` Called by the code completion infrastructure to inform the task about changes in the corresponding document.

- Method Detail
  - query
```
void query(CompletionResultSet resultSet)
```
    Called by the code completion infrastructure to ask the task to do a query and return the results through the given completion listener.
    This method is called only once during the lifetime of the completion task object.
    This method is always called in AWT thread but it may reschedule its processing into another thread and fire the given listener once the computing is finished.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resultSet - non-null result set to which the results of the query must be added.
  - refresh
```
void refresh(CompletionResultSet resultSet)
```
    Called by the code completion infrastructure to inform the task about changes in the corresponding document. The task should reflect these changes while creating the query result.
    This method can be called multiple times on a single task instance.
    Typically it is called AFTER the query() was invoked but it may also be invoked BEFORE the query() in case the user types even before the query() was called by the infrastructure. In such case the resultSet parameter will be null.
    It is guaranteed that this method will not be invoked in case the document instance set in the component would change since the last invocation of either the query() or refresh().
    This method is always called in AWT thread but it may reschedule its processing into another thread and fire the given listener once the computing is finished.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resultSet - non-null result set to which the results of the refreshing must be added.
    Null result set may be passed in case the query() was not invoked yet and user has typed a character. In this case the provider may hide the completion by using Completion.get().hideAll() if the typed character is inappropriate e.g. ";" for java completion.
  - cancel
```
void cancel()
```
    Called by the code completion infrastructure to cancel the task.
    Once the cancel is done on the task no more querying or refreshing is done on it.
    This method may potentially be called from any thread.
