getErrors

List<String> getErrors()

Returns the list of errors (if any).

Returns:

the errors

compareTo

int compareTo(ActorProcessor o)

Compares this object with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Only compares the commandlines of the two objects.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<ActorProcessor>

Parameters:

o - the object to be compared.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this object.

shallowCopy

ActorProcessor shallowCopy()

Returns a shallow copy of itself, i.e., based on the commandline options.

Specified by:

shallowCopy in interface ShallowCopySupporter<ActorProcessor>

Returns:

the shallow copy

shallowCopy

ActorProcessor shallowCopy(boolean expand)

Returns a shallow copy of itself, i.e., based on the commandline options.

Specified by:

shallowCopy in interface ShallowCopySupporter<ActorProcessor>

Parameters:

expand - whether to expand variables to their current values

Returns:

the shallow copy
