Interface ScanConductor


@Deprecated public interface ScanConductor

use java.nio.file.Files.walkFileTree() and related classes

Visitor pattern for the DirectoryScanner. A ScanConductor controls the scanning process.

Create an instance and pass it to DirectoryScanner.setScanConductor(ScanConductor). You will get notified about every visited directory and file. You can use the ScanConductor.ScanAction to control what should happen next.

A ScanConductor might also store own information but users must make sure that the state gets cleaned between two scan() invocations.
