Interface SourceDocTag

All Superinterfaces:

Element, SourceDocElement, SourceDocHasDescription, SourceElement, SourceHasName

All Known Subinterfaces:

SourceDocBlockTag, SourceDocInlineTag

public interface SourceDocTag

extends SourceDocHasDescription, SourceHasName

A SourceDocTag represents a block tag within a SourceDocComment or an in-line tag within a SourceDocDescription. A tag has a name and zero or more arguments. A tag name includes the leading "@" character, e.g., "@param". The standard tags as of JDK 1.5 are described below, grouped by the number and types of the children.

The children of a doc tag vary with the tag type, as described below. For unrecognized tags, any arguments are collected in a description.

No-Argument Tags

• {@docRoot}
• {@inheritDoc}
• {@value}

Children

• SourceDocTagName (see SourceHasName.getNameElement())

One-Argument Tags

• @author name-text
• {@code literal-text}
• @deprecated deprecated-text
• {@literal literal-text}
• @return description
• @see "string"
• @see <a href="URL#value">label</a>
• @serial field-description | include | exclude
• @serialData data-description
• @since since-text
• @version version-text

Children

• SourceDocTagName (see SourceHasName.getNameElement())
• SourceDocDescription (see SourceDocHasDescription.getDescription())

Two-Argument Exception Tags

• @exception class-name description
• @throws class-name description

Children

• SourceDocTagName (see SourceHasName.getNameElement())
• SourceDocReference (see getReference())
• SourceDocDescription (see SourceDocHasDescription.getDescription())

Two-Argument Parameter Tag

• @param parameter-name description

Children

• SourceDocTagName (see SourceHasName.getNameElement())
• SourceDocReference (see getReference())
• SourceDocDescription (see SourceDocHasDescription.getDescription())

Two-Argument Reference Tags

• {@link package.class#member label}
• {@linkplain package.class#member label}
• @see package.class#member label
• {@value package.class#member label}

Children

• SourceDocTagName (see SourceHasName.getNameElement())
• SourceDocReference (see getReference())
• SourceDocDescription (see SourceDocHasDescription.getDescription())

Three-Argument Tags

• @serialField field-name field-type field-description

Children

• SourceDocTagName (see SourceHasName.getNameElement())
• SourceDocReference (see getFieldNameReference())
• SourceDocReference (see getFieldTypeReference())
• SourceDocDescription (see SourceDocHasDescription.getDescription())
