public class TypeDeclarationStatement
extends Statement

Local type declaration statement AST node type.

This kind of node is used to convert a type declaration node into a statement node by wrapping it.

For JLS2:
 TypeDeclarationStatement:
    TypeDeclaration
 
For JLS3, the kinds of type declarations grew to include enum declarations:
 TypeDeclarationStatement:
    TypeDeclaration
    EnumDeclaration
 
Although allowed at the AST, not all arrangements of AST nodes are meaningful; in particular, only class and enum declarations are meaningful in the context of a block.

Since:
2.0

          The "declaration" structural property of this node type (added in JLS3 API).

Method Summary
 AbstractTypeDeclaration getDeclaration()
          Returns the abstract type declaration of this local type declaration statement (added in JLS3 API).
 TypeDeclaration getTypeDeclaration()
          Deprecated. In the JLS3 API, this method is replaced by getDeclaration(), which returns AbstractTypeDeclaration instead of TypeDeclaration.
static List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)
          Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type.
 ITypeBinding resolveBinding()
          Resolves and returns the binding for the class or interface declared in this type declaration statement.
 void setDeclaration(AbstractTypeDeclaration decl)
          Sets the abstract type declaration of this local type declaration statement (added in JLS3 API).
 void setTypeDeclaration(TypeDeclaration decl)
          Deprecated. In the JLS3 API, this method is replaced by setDeclaration(AbstractTypeDeclaration) which takes AbstractTypeDeclaration instead of TypeDeclaration.

Field Detail

TYPE_DECLARATION_PROPERTY

public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor TYPE_DECLARATION_PROPERTY
The "typeDeclaration" structural property of this node type (JLS2 API only).

Since:
3.0

DECLARATION_PROPERTY

public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor DECLARATION_PROPERTY
The "declaration" structural property of this node type (added in JLS3 API).

Since:
3.1
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

getDeclaration

public AbstractTypeDeclaration getDeclaration()
Returns the abstract type declaration of this local type declaration statement (added in JLS3 API).

Returns:
the type declaration node
Since:
3.1

setDeclaration

public void setDeclaration(AbstractTypeDeclaration decl)
Sets the abstract type declaration of this local type declaration statement (added in JLS3 API).

Parameters:
decl - the type declaration node
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if:
  • the node belongs to a different AST
  • the node already has a parent
  • a cycle in would be created
Since:
3.1

getTypeDeclaration

public TypeDeclaration getTypeDeclaration()
Deprecated. In the JLS3 API, this method is replaced by getDeclaration(), which returns AbstractTypeDeclaration instead of TypeDeclaration.

Returns the type declaration of this local type declaration statement (JLS2 API only).

Returns:
the type declaration node
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in an AST later than JLS2

setTypeDeclaration

public void setTypeDeclaration(TypeDeclaration decl)
Deprecated. In the JLS3 API, this method is replaced by setDeclaration(AbstractTypeDeclaration) which takes AbstractTypeDeclaration instead of TypeDeclaration.

Sets the type declaration of this local type declaration statement (JLS2 API only).

Parameters:
decl - the type declaration node
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if:
  • the node belongs to a different AST
  • the node already has a parent
  • a cycle in would be created
UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in an AST later than JLS2

resolveBinding

public ITypeBinding resolveBinding()
Resolves and returns the binding for the class or interface declared in this type declaration statement.

Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

Returns:
the binding, or null if the binding cannot be resolved
