public interface IMember

extends IJavaElement, ISourceReference, ISourceManipulation

Common protocol for Java elements that can be members of types. This set consists of IType, IMethod, IField, and IInitializer.

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Method Summary

IClassFile	getClassFile() Returns the class file in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a class file (for example, a source type).
ICompilationUnit	getCompilationUnit() Returns the compilation unit in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a compilation unit (for example, a binary type).
IType	getDeclaringType() Returns the type in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a type (for example, a top-level type).
int	getFlags() Returns the modifier flags for this member.
ISourceRange	getNameRange() Returns the source range of this member's simple name, or null if this member does not have a name (for example, an initializer), or if this member does not have associated source code (for example, a binary type).
boolean	isBinary() Returns whether this member is from a class file.

Method Detail

getClassFile

public IClassFile getClassFile()

Returns the class file in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a class file (for example, a source type). This is a handle-only method.

Returns:

the class file in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a class file (for example, a source type)

getCompilationUnit

public ICompilationUnit getCompilationUnit()

Returns the compilation unit in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a compilation unit (for example, a binary type). This is a handle-only method.

Returns:

the compilation unit in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a compilation unit (for example, a binary type)

getDeclaringType

public IType getDeclaringType()

Returns the type in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a type (for example, a top-level type). This is a handle-only method.

Returns:

the type in which this member is declared, or null if this member is not declared in a type (for example, a top-level type)

getFlags

public int getFlags()
             throws JavaModelException

Returns the modifier flags for this member. The flags can be examined using class Flags.

Returns:

the modifier flags for this member

Throws:

JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource.

getNameRange

public ISourceRange getNameRange()
                          throws JavaModelException

Returns the source range of this member's simple name, or null if this member does not have a name (for example, an initializer), or if this member does not have associated source code (for example, a binary type).

Returns:

the source range of this member's simple name, or null if this member does not have a name (for example, an initializer), or if this member does not have associated source code (for example, a binary type)

Throws:

JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource.

isBinary

public boolean isBinary()

Returns whether this member is from a class file. This is a handle-only method.

Returns:

true if from a class file, and false if from a compilation unit
