Eclipse JDT
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom
Class BodyDeclaration


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTNode
      extended by 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.BodyDeclaration
Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractTypeDeclaration, AnnotationTypeMemberDeclaration, EnumConstantDeclaration, FieldDeclaration, Initializer, MethodDeclaration

public abstract class BodyDeclaration
extends ASTNode

Abstract base class of all AST nodes that represent body declarations that may appear in the body of some kind of class or interface declaration, including anonymous class declarations, enumeration declarations, and enumeration constant declarations.

For JLS2:

 BodyDeclaration:
                ClassDeclaration
                InterfaceDeclaration
                MethodDeclaration
                ConstructorDeclaration
                FieldDeclaration
                Initializer
 
For JLS3, a number of new node types were introduced:
 BodyDeclaration:
                ClassDeclaration
                InterfaceDeclaration
                EnumDeclaration
                MethodDeclaration
                ConstructorDeclaration
                FieldDeclaration
                Initializer
                EnumConstantDeclaration
                AnnotationTypeDeclaration
                AnnotationTypeMemberDeclaration
 

All types of body declarations carry modifiers (and annotations), although they differ in which modifiers are allowed. Most types of body declarations can carry a doc comment; Initializer is the only ones that does not. The source range for body declarations always includes the doc comment if present.

Since:
2.0

Method Detail

getModifiersProperty

public final 
ChildListPropertyDescriptor getModifiersProperty()
Returns structural property descriptor for the "modifiers" property of this node as used in JLS3.

Returns:
the property descriptor
Since:
3.1

getJavadocProperty

public final 
ChildPropertyDescriptor getJavadocProperty()
Returns structural property descriptor for the "javadoc" property of this node.

Returns:
the property descriptor
Since:
3.1

getJavadoc

public 
Javadoc getJavadoc()
Returns the doc comment node.

Returns:
the doc comment node, or null if none

setJavadoc

public void setJavadoc(
Javadoc docComment)
Sets or clears the doc comment node.

Parameters:
docComment - the doc comment node, or null if none
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the doc comment string is invalid

getModifiers

public int getModifiers()
Returns the modifiers explicitly specified on this declaration.

In the JLS3 API, this method is a convenience method that computes these flags from modifiers().

Returns:
the bit-wise or of Modifier constants
See Also:
Modifier

setModifiers

public void setModifiers(int modifiers)
Deprecated. In the JLS3 API, this method is replaced by modifiers() which contains a list of a Modifier nodes.

Sets the modifiers explicitly specified on this declaration (JLS2 API only).

Parameters:
modifiers - the given modifiers (bit-wise or of Modifier constants)
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in an AST later than JLS2
See Also:
Modifier

modifiers

public 
List modifiers()
Returns the live ordered list of modifiers and annotations of this declaration (added in JLS3 API).

Returns:
the live list of modifiers and annotations (element type: IExtendedModifier)
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in a JLS2 AST
Since:
3.1
