Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final ExecutableType NONE

None of the executables.

Note that this option is equivalent to an empty list of executable types and is present to improve readability. If NONE and other types of executables are present in a list, NONE is ignored.

CONSTRUCTORS

public static final ExecutableType CONSTRUCTORS

All constructors.

NON_GETTER_METHODS

public static final ExecutableType NON_GETTER_METHODS

All methods except the ones following the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:

• name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
• name starts with is, has a return type and is returning Boolean.

GETTER_METHODS

public static final ExecutableType GETTER_METHODS

/** All methods following the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:

• name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
• name starts with is, has a return type and is returning Boolean.

ALL

public static final ExecutableType ALL

All executables (constructors and methods).

Method Detail

values

public static ExecutableType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ExecutableType c : ExecutableType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ExecutableType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
