Method Detail

getElementKind

public abstract int getElementKind()

Specified by:

getElementKind in interface JavaElement

Specified by:

getElementKind in class AbstractElement

Returns:

The type of JavaElement this is. Valid values are JavaConstants.ELEM_*.

getName

public abstract java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

Gets the simplest name of this type with "[]"s if present.

The name of a non-parametrized top-level type of the form "pkg.Cls" is "Cls".

The name of a non-parametrized member type of the form "pkg.Cls.InnerClass" is "InnerClass".

The name of an array type T[] is the name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.

The name of a parametrized type is the same as the name of its raw type. That is, the name of "pkg.Cls<String>" is simply "Cls".

The name of a wildcard type is always "?".

The name of a type parameter should be pretty obvious.

The name of a primitive type should be pretty obvious.

The name of a local inner class is just its name.

An anonymous inner classes does not have a name and will return the empty string.

Specified by:

getName in interface JavaHasName

Specified by:

getName in interface JavaType

Returns:

The simple name of this type with "[]"s if present.

getQualifiedName

public abstract java.lang.String getQualifiedName()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

Gets the fully qualified name of this type in source format. Here, "source format" means the format of a type reference in a source compilation unit. A type's source name uniquely identifies a type in a specific scope but not in the global scope.

The source name of a non-parametrized top-level type of the form "pkg.Cls" is "pkg.Cls".

The source name of a non-parametrized member type of the form T.InnerClass (that is, a member type InnerClass that is a member of type T) is the source name of T suffixed with by ".InnerClass", e.g. "java.util.Map.Entry", "pkg.Cls<?>.InnerClass".

The source name of a parametrized type starts with the source name of the raw type and lists the source name of all of its actual type argumenths, e.g. "java.util.List<java.lang.String>". The source name of an array type T[] is the source name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.

The source name of a wildcard type is the string with which it would appear in a source file. The three possible forms this can take are: "?", "? extends T", "? super T".

The source name of a type parameter is just its name.

The source name of a primitive type should be pretty obvious.

The source name of a local inner class is just its name because a local inner class is referenced, in a source file, by its name.

An anonymous inner classes does not have a source name. It will return the empty string for its source name.

Open for discussion: What should be returned by an anonymous class? Technically, the concept of a source name is irrelevant because anonymous classes may not be referred to in a source compilation unit.

Specified by:

getQualifiedName in interface JavaType

Returns:

The fully qualified source name for this type, empty for anonymous classes. Example values: java.lang.Object java.util.Map<String,String> java.lang.String[][]

getVMName

public abstract java.lang.String getVMName()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

Gets the VM name for this type. The JVMS3 defines an internal name format for raw classes. We call this the VM name of a type. It's useful for loading known types such as "java/lang/Object" and "java/lang/Throwable". Here is how we define the "VM name" for all types:

The VM name of a non-parametrized top-level type of the form "pkg.Cls" is "pkg/Cls".

The VM name of a non-parametrized member-level type of the form "pkg.Cls.InnerClass" is "pkg/Cls$InnerClass".

The VM name of a parametrized type is the VM name of the raw type. Because parametrization is stripped at run-time, we will omit it from the VM name.

The VM name of an array type T[] is the VM name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.

The VM name of a local inner class or anonymous inner class is a string that uniquely identifies it from all other types and is usually prefixed with the VM name of its directly enclosing class. For example, an anonymous inner class belonging to the type "pkg.Cls" may return "pkg/Cls$1".

The VM name of any other type is the same as its source name.

Specified by:

getVMName in interface JavaType

Returns:

The raw name, also known as the VM name, of this type. e.g. "java/lang/Object", "java/util/Map$Entry"

getDescriptor

public abstract 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

Returns:

The descriptor as defined in the JVMS2. Always non-null. Example values: "I", "Ljava/lang/Object;"

getUniqueIdentifier

public abstract 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

Returns:

The unique identifier for this type.

getTypeErasure

public abstract 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

Returns:

The JavaClass for this type's erasure.

getResolvedType

public JavaType getResolvedType()

Description copied from interface: JavaHasType

A JavaField instance will return the field's type.

A JavaMethod instance will return the method's return type.

A JavaVariable instance will return the variable's type.

A JavaType instance will return itself.

Specified by:

getResolvedType in interface JavaHasType

Returns:

The type of this compiled object.

getUnresolvedType

public UnresolvedType getUnresolvedType()

Description copied from interface: JavaHasType

Information about a type that has not been resolved. Defined in order to provide information when getResolvedType() == null. The typical use is to obtain a String for display purposes.

Specified by:

getUnresolvedType in interface JavaHasType

Overrides:

getUnresolvedType in class AbstractElement

Returns:

An object that provides information on the type we are trying to resolve. Always non-null.

getModifiers

public int getModifiers()

Specified by:

getModifiers in interface JavaElement

Specified by:

getModifiers in class AbstractElement

Returns:

The access modifiers on this element.

getOwner

public JavaElement getOwner()

Description copied from interface: JavaElement

TODO: Document me!

Specified by:

getOwner in interface JavaElement

Specified by:

getOwner in class AbstractElement

getOwningClass

public JavaClass getOwningClass()

Specified by:

getOwningClass in interface JavaMember

Returns:

The owning class. If this is an instance of a generic field, then this will return an instance of the owning class as well. For example, consider:

class C<E>
{
  E field;

  {
    C generic = new C();
    generic.field = null;

    C<String> specific = new C<String>();
    specific.field = null;
  }
}

If this instance represents the member field accessed by "generic.field", then getOwningClass will return the type for "C".

If this instance represents the member field accessed by "specific.field", then getOwningClass will return the type for "C<String>".

Further, the expressions "generic.field" and "specific.field" do not refer to the same JavaField instance.

getOwningMethod

public JavaMethod getOwningMethod()

isExported

public boolean isExported()

Specified by:

isExported in interface JavaType

Returns:

True if this is a top-level class or a member inner class. False otherwise (local classes and anonymous classes).

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()

Specified by:

isInterface in interface JavaType

Returns:

True if this is an interface type or an annotation type. False otherwise.

isAnnotation

public boolean isAnnotation()

Specified by:

isAnnotation in interface JavaType

Returns:

True if this is an annotation type. False otherwise.

isEnum

public boolean isEnum()

Specified by:

isEnum in interface JavaType

Returns:

True if this an enumeration type. False otherwise.

isMemberClass

public boolean isMemberClass()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

True if this is a member type.

Specified by:

isMemberClass in interface JavaType

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive()

Specified by:

isPrimitive in interface JavaType

Returns:

True if this type is a primitive type.

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Specified by:

isArray in interface JavaType

Returns:

True if this type is an array type.

getComponentType

public JavaType getComponentType()

Specified by:

getComponentType in interface JavaType

Returns:

The component type of this array. For example, if this type is "int[]", this will return the type for "int". If this is not an array type, this returns null (to match the behavior of java/lang/Class).

getArrayDimensions

public int getArrayDimensions()

Specified by:

getArrayDimensions in interface JavaType

Returns:

The array dimensions, zero if this is not an array type.

getBaseComponentType

public JavaType getBaseComponentType()

Specified by:

getBaseComponentType in interface JavaType

Returns:

The base component type of this array, that is, the type we get when all array dimensions have been removed. For example, if this type is "int[][]", this will return the type for "int". If this is not an array type, this returns null (to match the behavior of java/lang/Class).

getTypeParameter

public JavaTypeVariable getTypeParameter(java.lang.String name)

Specified by:

getTypeParameter in interface JavaIsGeneric

Returns:

The matching type parameter. Null means no match.

getUnqualifiedName

public java.lang.String getUnqualifiedName()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

Gets the name of this type in its unqualified form.

Unlike getName(), this will contain type parameters in their unqualified form. In other words, for types containing no type parameterization, the behavior is the same as getName().

Specified by:

getUnqualifiedName in interface JavaType

getRawName

public java.lang.String getRawName()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

Gets the raw name of this type. Here, we define the raw name to be the fully qualified source name of the raw type.

The raw name of a parametrized top-level or member or local inner type is the source name of its type erasure, as defined by the JLS3. Think of the raw name as the source name with all parametrization stripped out.

The raw name of an array type T[] is the raw name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.

The raw name for any other type is the same as its source name.

Specified by:

getRawName in interface JavaType

Returns:

The source name of the raw type. If "the raw type" does not apply to this type, then the source type is returned.

getSourceName

public java.lang.String getSourceName()

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

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.

isAssignableFrom

public boolean isAssignableFrom(JavaType subject)

Description copied from interface: JavaType
