org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Expression
          
org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.SuperMethodInvocation

public class SuperMethodInvocation
extends Expression
extends Expression

Simple or qualified "super" method invocation expression AST node type. For JLS2:

 SuperMethodInvocation:
     [ ClassName . ] super . Identifier
         ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] )

For JLS3, type arguments are added:

 SuperMethodInvocation:
     [ ClassName . ] super .
         [ < Type { , Type } > ]
         Identifier ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] )

Since:: 2.0
Restriction:: This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

Method Detail

propertyDescriptors

public static 
List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

Parameters:: apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants
Returns:: a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)
Since:: 3.0

getQualifier

public 
Name getQualifier()

Returns the qualifier of this "super" method invocation expression, or null if there is none.

Returns:: the qualifier name node, or null if there is none

isResolvedTypeInferredFromExpectedType

public boolean isResolvedTypeInferredFromExpectedType()

Returns true if the resolved return type has been inferred from the assignment context (JLS3 15.12.2.8), false otherwise.

the node belongs to a different AST
the node already has a parent

typeArguments

public 
List typeArguments()

Returns the live ordered list of type arguments of this method invocation (added in JLS3 API).
