Method Detail

name

@Nonnull
public String name()

Description copied from class: AbstractJClass

Gets the name of this class.

Specified by:

name in class AbstractJClass

Returns:

name of this class, without any qualification. For example, this method returns "String" for java.lang.String.

fullName

@Nonnull
public String fullName()

Description copied from class: AbstractJType

Gets the full name of the type. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/names.doc.html#25430 for the details.

Specified by:

fullName in class AbstractJType

Returns:

Strings like "int", "java.lang.String", "java.io.File[]". May be null for unnamed classes.

_package

@Nonnull
public JPackage _package()

Description copied from class: AbstractJClass

Gets the package to which this class belongs. TODO: shall we move move this down?

Specified by:

_package in class AbstractJClass

Returns:

The JPackage this class belongs to. Is usually not null except for the JTypeVar and the JTypeWildcard implementation.

_extends

@Nullable
public AbstractJClass _extends()

Description copied from class: AbstractJClass

Gets the super class of this class.

Specified by:

_extends in class AbstractJClass

Returns:

Returns the AbstractJClass representing the superclass of the entity (class or interface) represented by this AbstractJClass. Even if no super class is given explicitly or this AbstractJClass is not a class, this method still returns AbstractJClass for Object. If this AbstractJClass represents Object, return null.

_implements

@Nonnull
public Iterator<AbstractJClass> _implements()

Description copied from class: AbstractJClass

Iterates all super interfaces directly implemented by this class/interface.

Specified by:

_implements in class AbstractJClass

Returns:

A non-null valid iterator that iterates all AbstractJClass objects that represents those interfaces implemented by this object.

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()

Specified by:

isInterface in class AbstractJClass

Returns:

true if this object represents an interface.

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Specified by:

isAbstract in class AbstractJClass

Returns:

true if this class is an abstract class.

substituteParams

@Nonnull
protected AbstractJClass substituteParams(JTypeVar[] variables,
                                      List<? extends AbstractJClass> bindings)

Description copied from class: AbstractJClass

Substitutes the type variables with their actual arguments.
For example, when this class is Map<String,Map<V>>, (where V then doing substituteParams( V, Integer ) returns a AbstractJClass for Map<String,Map<Integer>>.
This method needs to work recursively.

Specified by:

substituteParams in class AbstractJClass

Parameters:

variables - Type variables

bindings - Bindings

Returns:

Never null.
