Eclipse JDT
Release 3.0

org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom
Class TypeParameter

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTNode
      extended byorg.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.TypeParameter

public class TypeParameter
extends ASTNode

Type parameter node (added in JLS3 API).

 TypeParameter:
    TypeVariable [ extends Type { & Type } ]
 

Note: This API element is only needed for dealing with Java code that uses new language features of J2SE 1.5. It is included in anticipation of J2SE 1.5 support, which is planned for the next release of Eclipse after 3.0, and may change slightly before reaching its final form.

Since:
3.0

Field Summary
static ChildPropertyDescriptor NAME_PROPERTY
          The "name" structural property of this node type.
static ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_BOUNDS_PROPERTY
          The "typeBounds" structural property of this node type.

Field Detail

NAME_PROPERTY

public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor NAME_PROPERTY
The "name" structural property of this node type.

Since:
3.0

TYPE_BOUNDS_PROPERTY

public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_BOUNDS_PROPERTY
The "typeBounds" structural property of this node type.

Since:
3.0
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

getName

public SimpleName getName()
Returns the name of the type variable declared in this type parameter.

Returns:
the name of the type variable

setName

public void setName(SimpleName typeName)
Sets the name of the type variable of this type parameter to the given name.

Parameters:
typeName - the new name of this type parameter
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if:
  • the node belongs to a different AST
  • the node already has a parent

typeBounds

public List typeBounds()
Returns the live ordered list of type bounds of this type parameter. For the type parameter to be plausible, there can be at most one class in the list, and it must be first, and the remaining ones must be interfaces; the list should not contain primitive types (but array types and parameterized types are allowed).

Returns:
the live list of type bounds (element type: Type)
