	Should return a human-readable, perhaps localized descriptive name of the project type.

(NSString *)	+ projectTypeDescription
	Should return a more detailed description of the project type.

(NSImage *)	+ projectTypeIcon

Detailed Description

This protocol is adopted by project type support objects.

Each project has a 'type' which is represented by it's projectType object. This object defines what kind of file categories exist in the project, how to construct the makefile and a bunch of other things.

Method Documentation

◆ infoDictionary

- (NSDictionary *) infoDictionary

Should return the project's info dictionary which is suitable for being written into the project file when saving.

Returns: The project type's private information dictionary.

References infoDictionary.

Referenced by infoDictionary.

◆ initWithDocument:infoDictionary:projectModules:

- (id) initWithDocument:	(ProjectDocument *)	aProject
infoDictionary:	(NSDictionary *)	infoDict
projectModules:	(NSArray *)	modules

Designated initializer.

This message is sent to a project type object when it is initialized.

Parameters

aProject	The project which owns the project type. The project type should establish a weak-reference to the project, since the project retains the project type object and a retain cycle would result.
infoDict	The project type's saved private info dictionary.
modules	The project's modules.
