Common set of methods for a step within a IPipeline pipeline.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`cancel()`	Cancel processing on this pipeline.
`void`	`destroy()`	Executes any cleanup code for this step.
`String`	`getDescription()`	Gets a short localizable description of what this step does.
`String`	`getHelpLocation()`	Gets the relative directory location for the help of this step.
`String`	`getName()`	Gets the localizable name of this step.
`IParameters`	`getParameters()`	Gets the current parameters for this step.
`default LocaleId`	`getSourceLocale()`	Delegate to concrete class
`default LocaleId`	`getTargetLocale()`	Delegate to concrete class
`Event`	`handleEvent(Event event)`	Processes each event sent though the pipeline.
`boolean`	`isDone()`	Steps that can generate `Event`s such as `IFilter`s return false until no more events can be created.
`boolean`	`isLastOutputStep()`	Is this step the last step with output in the pipeline?
`void`	`setLastOutputStep(boolean isLastStep)`	Tell the step if it is the last one on the pipeline with output.

- Method Detail
  - getParameters
```
IParameters getParameters()
```
    Gets the current parameters for this step.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current parameters for this step or null if there are no parameters.
  - setParameters
```
void setParameters(IParameters params)
```
    Sets new parameters for this step.
    
    Parameters:
    
    params - the new parameters to use.
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Gets the localizable name of this step.
    
    Returns:
    
    the localizable name of this step.
  - getDescription
```
String getDescription()
```
    Gets a short localizable description of what this step does.
    
    Returns:
    
    the text of a short description of what this step does.
  - getHelpLocation
```
String getHelpLocation()
```
    Gets the relative directory location for the help of this step. The main help file for the step must be at that location and its name must be the name of the class implementing the step in lowercase with a .html extension.
    
    Returns:
    
    the relative directory location for the help of this step.
  - handleEvent
```
Event handleEvent(Event event)
```
    Processes each event sent though the pipeline.
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - the event to process.
    
    Returns:
    
    the event to pass down the pipeline.
  - isDone
```
boolean isDone()
```
    Steps that can generate Events such as IFilters return false until no more events can be created. Steps which do not create Events always return true.
    
    Returns:
    
    false if can generate more events, true otherwise.
  - destroy
```
void destroy()
```
    Executes any cleanup code for this step. Called once at the end of the pipeline lifecycle.
  - cancel
```
void cancel()
```
    Cancel processing on this pipeline. Each IPipelineStep is responsible to implement a cancel method that will interrupt long running operations
  - isLastOutputStep
```
boolean isLastOutputStep()
```
    Is this step the last step with output in the pipeline?
    
    Returns:
    
    true if last step with output, false otherwise.
  - setLastOutputStep
```
void setLastOutputStep(boolean isLastStep)
```
    Tell the step if it is the last one on the pipeline with output.
    
    Parameters:
    
    isLastStep - true if last step with output, false otherwise.
  - getSourceLocale
```
default LocaleId getSourceLocale()
```
    Delegate to concrete class
    
    Returns:
    
    LocaleId
  - setSourceLocale
```
default void setSourceLocale(LocaleId sourceLocale)
```
    Delegate to concrete class
    
    Parameters:
    
    sourceLocale -
  - getTargetLocale
```
default LocaleId getTargetLocale()
```
    Delegate to concrete class
    
    Returns:
    
    LocaleId
  - setTargetLocale
```
default void setTargetLocale(LocaleId targetLocale)
```
