Interface AnnotatedElement

public interface AnnotatedElement

Dali manipulates annotations on elements (packages, types, fields, and methods). This interface simplifies those manipulations. Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves. This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Nested Class Summary

static interface

AnnotatedElement.Editor This interface defines a callback that is invoked when the annotated element's compilation unit/AST is in a state to be manipulated.

Method Summary

void	edit(AnnotatedElement.Editor editor) Edit the annotated element's declaration using the specified editor.
ASTNode	getBodyDeclaration(CompilationUnit astRoot) Return the annotated element's body declaration from the specified AST.
ModifiedDeclaration	getModifiedDeclaration() Return the annotated element's "modified" declaration from a newly-generated AST.
ModifiedDeclaration	getModifiedDeclaration(CompilationUnit astRoot) Return the annotated element's "modified" declaration from the specified AST.
String	getName()

Method Detail

getName

String getName()

getBodyDeclaration

ASTNode getBodyDeclaration(CompilationUnit astRoot)

Return the annotated element's body declaration from the specified AST. This can be null if the annotated element is no longer present in the AST because the source has been changed in another thread.

getModifiedDeclaration

ModifiedDeclaration getModifiedDeclaration(CompilationUnit astRoot)

Return the annotated element's "modified" declaration from the specified AST.

getModifiedDeclaration

ModifiedDeclaration getModifiedDeclaration()

Return the annotated element's "modified" declaration from a newly-generated AST.

edit

void edit(AnnotatedElement.Editor editor)

Edit the annotated element's declaration using the specified editor.
