public interface TypeDeclaration extends MemberDeclaration
Represents the declaration of a class or interface. Provides access to information about the type and its members. Note that an enum is a kind of class, and an annotation type is a kind of interface.While a
TypeDeclaration
represents the declaration of a class or interface, aDeclaredType
represents a class or interface type, the latter being a use (or invocation) of the former. The distinction is most apparent with generic types, for which a single declaration can define a whole family of types. For example, the declaration ofjava.util.Set
corresponds to the parameterized typesjava.util.Set<String>
andjava.util.Set<Number>
(and many others), and to the raw typejava.util.Set
.DeclarationFilter
provides a simple way to select just the items of interest when a method returns a collection of declarations.- Since:

Method Detail

getPackage
PackageDeclaration getPackage()
Returns the package within which this type is declared.- Returns:
- the package within which this type is declared
-
getQualifiedName
String getQualifiedName()
Returns the fully qualified name of this class or interface declaration. More precisely, it returns the canonical name. The name of a generic type does not include any reference to its formal type parameters. For example, the the fully qualified name of the interface declarationjava.util.Set<E>
is"java.util.Set"
.- Returns:
- the fully qualified name of this class or interface declaration
-
getFormalTypeParameters
Collection<TypeParameterDeclaration> getFormalTypeParameters()
Returns the formal type parameters of this class or interface.- Returns:
- the formal type parameters, or an empty collection if there are none
-
getSuperinterfaces
Collection<InterfaceType> getSuperinterfaces()
Returns the interface types directly implemented by this class or extended by this interface.- Returns:
- the interface types directly implemented by this class or extended by this interface, or an empty collection if there are none

getFields
Collection<FieldDeclaration> getFields()

- the fields that are directly declared, or an empty collection if there are none
- See Also:
DeclarationFilter
-
getMethods
Collection<? extends MethodDeclaration> getMethods()
Returns the methods that are directly declared by this class or interface. Includes annotation type elements. Excludes implicitly declared methods of an interface, such astoString
, that correspond to the methods ofjava.lang.Object
.- Returns:
- the methods that are directly declared, or an empty collection if there are none
