JavaVariable Class

public class JavaVariable

    extends JavaMember

JavaVariable is a DefaultSourceElement derivation that represents a member variable within a JavaClass.

JavaVariable objects generally do not have any children.

The properties available on an object of this type may be found by looking at the getDefaultPropertyDescriptors method.

All java parse tree objects are instantiated as part of parse tree construction by the JavaBuilder class.

Constructor Detail

JavaVariable

public JavaVariable()
Creates a new object containing a null cookie. This constructor should be used by callers constructing objects that are not part of an active parse tree, such as those to be added via two-way edit.

JavaVariable

public JavaVariable(Object compilerCookie)
Creates a new object containing the specified cookie. This constructor should only be called by ILanguageBuilder implementations.
 

Method Detail

getDefaultPropertyDescriptors() Method

public DefaultSourceElement.CompilerPropertyDescriptor[] getDefaultPropertyDescriptors()
Objects of this type define the following properties:
JavaVariable.PROP_TYPE: the type of this variable.

Additionally, all DefaultSourceElement derivations also inherit all properties returned by getDefaultPropertyDescriptors from all super classes.

Overrides
JavaMember.getDefaultPropertyDescriptors()

getType() Method

public String getType()
Gets the type of this JavaVariable


getTypeCode() Method

public IStructureFeature.StructureCode getTypeCode()
This method returns a code used by the compiler to identify the type of this element. This method should not be called directly, since the return value isn't useful outside of the compiler.

Overrides
DefaultSourceElement.getTypeCode()

Returns

A compiler structure code identifying the type of this element.

setInitializer(String) Method

public boolean setInitializer(String initializerSource)
Replaces the body of this JavaMethod with the specified text.

Parameters

initializerSource
the new body text for this method

Returns

boolean indicating success or failure.

setInitializer(String, boolean) Method

public boolean setInitializer(String initializerSource, 
                              boolean blockForResult)
Replaces the body of this JavaMethod with the specified text.

Parameters

initializerSource
the new body text for this method

Returns

boolean indicating success or failure.

setType(String) Method

public void setType(String newString)
Sets the Type of this JavaVariable


toString() Method

public String toString()
Stringify by returning my name

Overrides
JavaMember.toString()

visit(JavaVisitor, Object) Method

public Object visit(JavaVisitor v, 
                    Object arg)
Provides JavaVisitor support for this element type.

Overrides
JavaElement.visit(JavaVisitor, Object)

Parameters

v
The visitor
arg
An argument to the visit, to be interpreted by the visitor.

Returns

Object returned by the visitor.
