Constructor Summary
`ImportHelper(OWLModel owlModel)` Creates an import helper that will import ontologies into the specified `OWLModel`.

Method Summary
`void` | `addImport(InputStream is)` Adds the ontology in an input stream to the set of ontologies that will be imported.
`void` | `addImport(URI ontologyURI)` Adds an ontology to the set of ontologies that will be imported.
`void` | `importOntologies()` Imports the ontologies that this helper was asked to import.
`void` | `importOntologies(boolean reloadGUI)` Alternative method that allows the caller to block the GUI reload (for example when initialising TabPlugins)

Constructor Detail

### ImportHelper

    public ImportHelper(OWLModel owlModel)

  Creates an import helper that will import ontologies into the specified `OWLModel`. The pattern of usage is:
  1. Create an instance specifying the `OWLModel` to be used in the constructor
  2. Add the ontology URIs of the ontologies to be imported using the `addImport` method.
  3. Finally call the `importOntologies` method, which will do the actual importing (and reloading of the UI if necessary).

Method Detail

### addImport

    public void addImport(URI ontologyURI)

  Adds an ontology to the set of ontologies that will be imported. Note that this does not actually import the ontologies - it merely adds them to the list of ontologies to be imported. To perform the actual imports, use the `importOntologies()` method.

  Parameters:
    `ontologyURI` - The URI of the ontology to import

### addImport

    public void addImport(InputStream is)

  Adds the ontology in an input stream to the set of ontologies that will be imported. Note that this does not actually import the ontology - it merely adds it to the list of ontologies to be imported. To perform the actual imports use the `importOntologes()` method.

### importOntologies

    public void importOntologies()
                          throws edu.stanford.smi.protege.exception.OntologyLoadException

  Imports the ontologies that this helper was asked to import. If the Protege-OWL Application GUI is being used, then the UI is reloaded. Use the alternative `reloadGUI(boolean)` in TabWidget initialisation code to prevent the GUI being reloaded

  Throws:
    `edu.stanford.smi.protege.exception.OntologyLoadException`

### importOntologies

    public void importOntologies(boolean reloadGUI)
                          throws edu.stanford.smi.protege.exception.OntologyLoadException

  Alternative method that allows the caller to block the GUI reload (for example when initialising TabPlugins)

  Parameters:
    `reloadGUI` - - false if no GUI reload is desired
  Throws:
    `edu.stanford.smi.protege.exception.OntologyLoadException`
