Method Detail

getFile

public JavaFile getFile()

Specified by:

getFile in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

getFile in class AbstractField

Returns:

Returns the JavaFile that this element is contained in.

If a SourceFile is returned, then this element is declared in or otherwise comes in a SourceFile.

A non-null JavaFile may be returned that is not a SourceFile. For example, a JavaClass that came from a .class file definition will return such a JavaFile instance.

If null, then this element was created on-the-fly.

getModifiers

public int getModifiers()

Specified by:

getModifiers in interface JavaElement

Specified by:

getModifiers in class AbstractField

Returns:

The access modifiers on this element.

getElementKind

public int getElementKind()

Specified by:

getElementKind in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

getElementKind in class AbstractField

Returns:

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

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface JavaHasName

Specified by:

getName in class AbstractField

Returns:

The short (simple) name of this compiled object.

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

Specified by:

getResolvedType in class AbstractField

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.

getSourceElement

public SourceElement getSourceElement()

Specified by:

getSourceElement in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

getSourceElement in class AbstractElement

Returns:

The corresponding source symbol to this element. Null if there is no corresponding source symbol or if the corresponding source symbol could not be found.

isSourceElement

public boolean isSourceElement()

Specified by:

isSourceElement in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

isSourceElement in class AbstractElement

Returns:

True if this instance is a SourceElement itself. False otherwise.

getDeclaredAnnotations

public java.util.Collection getDeclaredAnnotations()

Description copied from interface: JavaHasAnnotations

Retrieves all the annotations declared on this element.

Specified by:

getDeclaredAnnotations in interface JavaHasAnnotations

Overrides:

getDeclaredAnnotations in class AbstractElement

Returns:

The collection of annotations declared on this element. Returns a Collection of JavaAnnotation's.

printCompiledInfo

public java.lang.String printCompiledInfo()

Description copied from interface: JavaElement

Debugging function for printing out compiled information.

Specified by:

printCompiledInfo in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

printCompiledInfo in class AbstractField

isDeprecated

public boolean isDeprecated()

Specified by:

isDeprecated in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

isDeprecated in class AbstractElement

Returns:

True if this is deprecated. False otherwise.

isHidden

public boolean isHidden()

Specified by:

isHidden in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

isHidden in class AbstractElement

Returns:

True if this is hidden (bug 2798659). False otherwise.

getOwningClass

public JavaClass getOwningClass()

Specified by:

getOwningClass in interface JavaMember

Specified by:

getOwningClass in class AbstractField

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.

getOwner

public JavaElement getOwner()

Description copied from interface: JavaElement

TODO: Document me!

Specified by:

getOwner in interface JavaElement

Overrides:

getOwner in class AbstractField

getConstantValue

public java.lang.Object getConstantValue()

Description copied from interface: JavaVariable

TODO: What about static final fields of enum type?

Specified by:

getConstantValue in interface JavaVariable

Overrides:

getConstantValue in class AbstractField

Returns:

The constant value. Null if this variable does not have a constant value or if the constant value could not be determined.

Note: Constant values cannot be null. Therefore, null indicates no constant value.

If the constant value is of primitive type, it will be wrapped in an object. For example, if the constant value is an int of value 1, then an Integer i such that i.intValue() == 1 will be returned.

If the constant value is of String type, a String of same value will be returned.

If the constant value is an array, then an array of Object[] will be returned. If the constant value is an int array with single element one, then an Object[ 1 ] with single entry Integer i such that i.intValue() == 1 will be returned.

If the constant value is an enum constant, the enum constant itself is NOT returned because of practical considerations regarding classloading. Instead, a JavaField corresponding to that enum constant is returned. Notice that if "this" is an enum constant, then "this" is returned because it itself represents the enum constant.

If the constant value is a class literal, then a JavaType corresponding to the class is returned. This cannot be a JavaClass because some class literals are array types.
