Interface IJarEntryResource

All Superinterfaces:: IAdaptable, IStorage

public interface IJarEntryResource
extends IStorage
extends IStorage

A jar entry corresponding to a non-Java resource in an archive IPackageFragment or IPackageFragmentRoot.

One can navigate the non-Java resource tree using the getChildren() and getParent() methods. Jar entry resources are either files ( isFile() returns true) or directories ( isFile() returns false). Files don't have any children and the returned array is always empty.

Jar entry resources that refer to the same element are guaranteed to be equal, but not necessarily identical.

Since:: 3.3

Specified by:: getFullPath in interface IStorage

Returns:: the absolute path of this jar entry resource

getParent


Object getParent()

Returns:: the parent of this jar entry resource

getPackageFragmentRoot


IPackageFragmentRoot getPackageFragmentRoot()

Returns the package fragment root this jar entry resource belongs to.

Returns:: the package fragment root this jar entry resource belongs to.
