Method Detail

accept

public boolean accept(java.io.File f)

Description copied from class: EntryFromFileCreator

To support platform independence, a creator must define what types of files it accepts on it's own.

Basically, accepting files which end with the file extension that is described in the nested EntryFromFileCreator.externalFileType would work on windows systems. This is also the recommended criterion, on which files should be accepted.

However, defining what types of files this creator accepts, is a property of entry creators, that is left to the user.
