Method Detail

clone

CtWildcardReference clone()

Description copied from interface: CtElement

Clone the element which calls this method in a new object. Note that that references are kept as is, and thus, so if you clone whole classes or methods, some parts of the cloned element (eg executable references) may still point to the initial element. In this case, consider using methods Refactoring.copyType(CtType) and Refactoring.copyMethod(CtMethod) instead which does additional work beyond cloning.

Specified by:

clone in interface CtElement

Specified by:

clone in interface CtReference

Specified by:

clone in interface CtTypeParameterReference

Specified by:

clone in interface CtTypeReference<Object>

setSimpleName

<C extends CtReference> C setSimpleName(String simpleName)

Description copied from interface: CtReference

Sets the name of referenced element.

Specified by:

setSimpleName in interface CtReference

isUpper

boolean isUpper()

Returns true if the bounds are in extends clause. false means a super clause.

setUpper

<T extends CtWildcardReference> T setUpper(boolean upper)

Set to true to write extends clause for bounds types.

getBoundingType

CtTypeReference<?> getBoundingType()

A type parameter can have an extends clause which declare one (CtTypeReference or more (CtIntersectionTypeReference references.

     // Extends with generics.
     T extends Interface1
     // Intersection type with generics.
     T extends Interface1 & Interface2
 

Specified by:

getBoundingType in interface CtTypeParameterReference

setBoundingType

<T extends CtWildcardReference> T setBoundingType(CtTypeReference<?> superType)

Sets the extends clause of the type parameter.
