Public API getTrace() and getProviders() in the data provider class

[tuanvtdeptre199]

What it does

Recently, I have wanted to improve my 3rd trace views to work with multiple trace packages from the different trace tools. So I want to public the API getProviders() from class TmfTreeCompositeDataProvider.java and getTrace() from class AbstractTmfTraceDataProvider.java

How to test

It does not change any logic code, just public some API, so all views in Trace Compass are expected to work normally.

• As an author, I have thoroughly tested my changes and carefully followed the instructions in this template

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Expanded public API to allow retrieving the underlying trace instance from core data providers.
  • Exposed provider lists via the public API and now return an immutable view to prevent external modification.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR makes two data provider accessor methods public: getTrace() on AbstractTmfTraceDataProvider and getProviders() on TmfTreeCompositeDataProvider; getProviders() now returns an unmodifiable list.

Poem

🐰 I nibble lines and hop through keys,
Two methods blossom from hidden trees,
One reveals the trace I keep,
One guards the list for callers to peep,
A tiny change — the code feels breeze.

- Around line 191-193: The public getProviders() currently returns the mutable
backing field fProviders allowing external mutation and bypassing
removeProvider(...) lifecycle/disposal semantics; change getProviders() to
return a defensive/unmodifiable view or copy (e.g., an unmodifiableList or a new
ArrayList copy of fProviders) so callers cannot modify the internal list
directly and must use add/removeProvider(...) to manage provider lifecycle.
