Interface IType

All Superinterfaces:: org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable, IJavaElement, IMember, IParent, ISourceManipulation, ISourceReference

public interface IType
extends IMember

Represents either a source type in a compilation unit (either a top-level type, a member type, a local type or an anonymous type) or a binary type in a class file. Enumeration classes and annotation types are subkinds of classes and interfaces, respectively.

Note that the element name of an anonymous source type is always empty.

If a binary type cannot be parsed, its structure remains unknown. Use IJavaElement.isStructureKnown to determine whether this is the case.

The children are of type IMember, which includes IField, IMethod, IInitializer and IType. The children are listed in the order in which they appear in the source or class file.

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

                  throws JavaModelException

Do code completion inside a code snippet in the context of the current type. It considers types in the working copies with the given owner first. In other words, the owner's working copies will take precedence over their original compilation units in the workspace.

Note that if a working copy is empty, it will be as if the original compilation unit had been deleted.

If the type can access to his source code and the insertion position is valid, then completion is performed against source. Otherwise the completion is performed against type structure and given locals variables.

createField

public IField createField(java.lang.String contents,

                   throws JavaModelException

Creates and returns a field in this type with the given contents.

Optionally, the new element can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the element will be inserted as the last field declaration in this type.

It is possible that a field with the same name already exists in this type. The value of the force parameter effects the resolution of such a conflict:

true - in this case the field is created with the new contents
false - in this case a JavaModelException is thrown

createInitializer

Creates and returns a static initializer in this type with the given contents.

Optionally, the new element can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the new initializer is positioned after the last existing initializer declaration, or as the first member in the type if there are no initializers.

createMethod

                     throws JavaModelException

Creates and returns a method or constructor in this type with the given contents.

Optionally, the new element can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the element will be appended to this type.

It is possible that a method with the same signature already exists in this type. The value of the force parameter effects the resolution of such a conflict:

true - in this case the method is created with the new contents
false - in this case a JavaModelException is thrown

createType

public IType createType(java.lang.String contents,
                        IJavaElement sibling,

                 throws JavaModelException

Creates and returns a type in this type with the given contents.

Optionally, the new type can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the type will be appended to this type.

It is possible that a type with the same name already exists in this type. The value of the force parameter effects the resolution of such a conflict:

true - in this case the type is created with the new contents
false - in this case a JavaModelException is thrown

findMethods

public IMethod[] findMethods(IMethod method)

Returns the method with the specified name and parameter types in this type (for example, "foo", {"I", "QString;"}). To get the handle for a constructor, the name specified must be the simple name of the enclosing type. This is a handle-only method. The method may or may not be present.

The type signatures may be either unresolved (for source types) or resolved (for binary types), and either basic (for basic types) or rich (for parameterized types). See Signature for details.

getMethods

Returns the name of this type's superclass, or null for source types that do not specify a superclass.

For interfaces, the superclass name is always "java.lang.Object". For source types, the name as declared is returned, for binary types, the resolved, qualified name is returned. For anonymous types, the superclass name is the name appearing after the 'new' keyword'. If the superclass is a parameterized type, the string may include its type arguments enclosed in "<>". If the returned string is needed for anything other than display purposes, use getSuperclassTypeSignature() 55 which returns a structured type signature string containing more precise information.

resolveType

public java.lang.String[][] resolveType(java.lang.String typeName)
                                 throws JavaModelException

Resolves the given type name within the context of this type (depending on the type hierarchy and its imports).

Multiple answers might be found in case there are ambiguous matches.

Each matching type name is decomposed as an array of two strings, the first denoting the package name (dot-separated) and the second being the type name. The package name is empty if it is the default package. The type name is the type qualified name using a '.' enclosing type separator.

Returns null if unable to find any matching type.

For example, resolution of "Object" would typically return {{"java.lang", "Object"}}. Another resolution that returns {{"", "X.Inner"}} represents the inner type Inner defined in type X in the default package.

resolveType

public java.lang.String[][] resolveType(java.lang.String typeName,
                                        WorkingCopyOwner owner)
                                 throws JavaModelException

Resolves the given type name within the context of this type (depending on the type hierarchy and its imports) and using the given owner's working copies, considering types in the working copies with the given owner. In other words, the owner's working copies will take precedence over their original compilation units in the workspace.

Note that if a working copy is empty, it will be as if the original compilation unit had been deleted.

Multiple answers might be found in case there are ambiguous matches.

Returns null if unable to find any matching type.
