org.eclipse.jdt.core
Interface ITypeParameter

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable, IJavaElement, ISourceReference

---

public interface ITypeParameter
extends 
IJavaElement, 
ISourceReference

Represents a type parameter defined by a type or a method in a compilation unit or a class file.

Type parameters are obtained using IType.getTypeParameter(String) and IMethod.getTypeParameter(String).

Note that type parameters are not children of their declaring type or method. To get a list of the type parameters use IType.getTypeParameters() for a type and use IMethod.getTypeParameters() for a method.

Since:

3.1

Restriction:

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Method Detail

getBounds

String[] getBounds()
                   throws 
JavaModelException

Returns the names of the class and interface bounds of this type parameter. Returns an empty array if this type parameter has no bounds. A bound name is the name as it appears in the source (without the extends keyword) if the type parameter comes from a compilation unit. It is the dot-separated fully qualified name of the bound if the type parameter comes from a class file.

Returns:

the names of the bounds

Throws:

JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource

---

getDeclaringMember

IMember getDeclaringMember()

Returns the declaring member of this type parameter. This can be either an IType or an IMethod.

This is a handle-only method.

Returns:

the declaring member of this type parameter.

---

getNameRange

ISourceRange getNameRange()
                          throws 
JavaModelException

Returns the source range of this type parameter's name, or null if this type parameter does not have associated source code (for example, in a binary type).

Returns:

the source range of this type parameter's name, or null if this type parameter does not have associated source code (for example, in a binary type)

Throws:

JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource.
