public abstract class AbstractClass
extends AbstractType
implements JavaClass

An abstract implementation of JavaClass. Provided so that all implementations have a consistent behavior for equals(O) and hashCode(). If you want to implement JavaTypeVariable or JavaWildcardType, you should extend AbstractType instead.

Constructor Detail

AbstractClass

public AbstractClass()
Method Detail

getElementKind

public int getElementKind()
Specified by:
getElementKind in interface JavaElement
Specified by:
getElementKind in class AbstractType
Returns:
The type of JavaElement this is. Valid values are JavaConstants.ELEM_*.

getTypeErasure

public JavaClass getTypeErasure()
Description copied from interface: JavaType
Gets the type erasure of this type, as defined by the JLS3. A simple way of thinking of a type erasure is that it's the "closest non-generic class" to this type. You can also think of it as the 1.4-compatible class for this type.

Specified by:
getTypeErasure in interface JavaType
Specified by:
getTypeErasure in class AbstractType
Returns:
The JavaClass for this type's erasure.

getDescriptor

public java.lang.String getDescriptor()
Description copied from interface: JavaType
Gets the descriptor for this type, as defined by the JVMS2. Note: The descriptor is equivalent to the type signature of this type's erasure.

For jdk < 1.5, the "FieldDescriptor" is returned (JVMS2). For jdk < 1.5, descriptors and signatures are the same thing.

For jdk >= 1.5, a type signature of the type erasure is returned.

Note: Do not confuse a type's descriptor with a method's descriptor. The descriptor of the type of a method is the field descriptor describing its return type. The descriptor of a method describes parameter types.

Specified by:
getDescriptor in interface JavaType
Specified by:
getDescriptor in class AbstractType
Returns:
The descriptor as defined in the JVMS2. Always non-null. Example values: "I", "Ljava/lang/Object;"

getTypeSignature

public java.lang.String getTypeSignature()
Description copied from interface: JavaType
Gets the type signature for this type, as defined by the JVMS3.

A JavaClass returns its "ClassTypeSignature" (JVMS3). A JavaClass is uniquely identified by its type signature. Example value: Ljava/util/List;

A JavaTypeVariable returns its "TypeVariableSignature" (JVMS3). A type variable is uniquely identified by the combination of its owning declaration AND its type signature. Example value: TE;

A WildcardType returns its "TypeArgument" value (JVMS3). A wildcard type is uniquely identified by its type signature. Example values: * +Ljava/lang/Object;.

Specified by:
getTypeSignature in interface JavaType
Returns:
The type signature as defined in the JVMS3. Always non-null.

getSignature

public java.lang.String getSignature()
Description copied from interface: JavaType
Gets the "Signature" attribute of this type, as defined by the JVMS3.

The "Signature" attribute for a field is the "ClassTypeSignature" for its type.

The "Signature" attribute for a method involves the "ClassSignature"s for its type parameters and the "ClassTypeSignature"s of its remaining constituent types.

A JavaClass returns its "ClassSignature" (JVMS3).

A JavaTypeVariable does not have a class signature, but will return a string for use in a class signature or a method signature.

A WildcardType does not have a class signature and may not part of a class signature. Its return value is undefined.

Specified by:
getSignature in interface JavaType
Overrides:
getSignature in class AbstractType
Returns:
The class signature as defined in the JVMS3. "A signature is a string representing the generic type of a field or method, or generic type information for a class declaration." Always non-null.

getUniqueIdentifier

public java.lang.String getUniqueIdentifier()
Description copied from interface: JavaType
Gets a unique identifier for this type. Two types are equal iff their unique identifiers are equal.

Specified by:
getUniqueIdentifier in interface JavaMember
Specified by:
getUniqueIdentifier in interface JavaType
Specified by:
getUniqueIdentifier in class AbstractType
Returns:
The unique identifier for this type.

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()
Specified by:
isInterface in interface JavaType
Overrides:
isInterface in class AbstractType
Returns:
True if this is an interface type or an annotation type. False otherwise.

isAnnotation

public boolean isAnnotation()
Specified by:
isAnnotation in interface JavaType
Overrides:
isAnnotation in class AbstractType
Returns:
True if this is an annotation type. False otherwise.

isEnum

public boolean isEnum()
Specified by:
isEnum in interface JavaType
Overrides:
isEnum in class AbstractType
Returns:
True if this an enumeration type. False otherwise.

isExported

public boolean isExported()
Specified by:
isExported in interface JavaType
Overrides:
isExported in class AbstractType
Returns:
True if this is a top-level class or a member inner class. False otherwise (local classes and anonymous classes).

isMemberClass

public boolean isMemberClass()
Description copied from interface: JavaType
True if this is a member type.

Specified by:
isMemberClass in interface JavaType
Overrides:
isMemberClass in class AbstractType
