Method Detail

### getCollection

    protected java.util.Collection getCollection()

  Sort the contained elements.

  Specified by:
    `getCollection` in class `BaseResourceCollectionWrapper`
  Returns:
    a Collection of Resources.

### setEncoding

    public void setEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)

  Set the encoding used to create the tokens.

  Parameters:
    `encoding` - the encoding to use.

### add

    public void add(Tokenizer tokenizer)

  Add the nested Tokenizer to this Tokens ResourceCollection. A LineTokenizer will be used by default.

  Parameters:
    `tokenizer` - the tokenizer to add.

### dieOnCircularReference

    protected void dieOnCircularReference(java.util.Stack stk,
                                          Project p)
                                   throws BuildException

  Overrides the BaseResourceCollectionContainer version to check the nested Tokenizer.

  Overrides:
    `dieOnCircularReference` in class `BaseResourceCollectionWrapper`
  Parameters:
    `stk` - the stack of data types to use (recursively).
    `p` - the project to use to dereference the references.
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error.
