Interface IDOMField

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, IDOMMember, IDOMNode

public interface IDOMField
extends IDOMMember

Deprecated.

The JDOM was made obsolete by the addition in 2.0 of the more powerful, fine-grained DOM/AST API found in the org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom package.

Represents a field declaration. The corresponding syntactic units are FieldDeclaration (JLS2 8.3) and ConstantDeclaration (JLS2 9.3) restricted to a single VariableDeclarator clause. A field has no children. The parent of a field is a type.

Method Details

getInitializer

String getInitializer()

Deprecated.

Returns the initializer expression for this field. The syntax for an initializer corresponds to VariableInitializer (JLS2 8.3).

Note: The expression does not include a "=".

Returns:

the initializer expression, or null if this field does not have an initializer

getName

String getName()

Deprecated.

The IDOMField refinement of this IDOMNode method returns the name of this field. The syntax for the name of a field corresponds to VariableDeclaratorId (JLS2 8.3).

Specified by:

getName in interface IDOMNode

Returns:

the name of this field

getType

String getType()

Deprecated.

Returns the type name of this field. The syntax for a type name of a field corresponds to Type in Field Declaration (JLS2 8.3).

Returns:

the type name

setInitializer

void setInitializer(String initializer)

Deprecated.

Sets the initializer expression for this field. The syntax for an initializer corresponds to VariableInitializer (JLS2 8.3).

Note: The expression does not include a "=".

Parameters:

initializer - the initializer expression, or null indicating the field does not have an initializer

setName

void setName(String name)
      throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

The IDOMField refinement of this IDOMNode method sets the name of this field. The syntax for the name of a field corresponds to VariableDeclaratorId (JLS2 8.3).

Specified by:

setName in interface IDOMNode

Parameters:

name - the given name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if null is specified

setType

void setType(String typeName)
      throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Sets the type name of this field. The syntax for a type name of a field corresponds to Type in Field Declaration (JLS2 8.3). Type names must be specified as they should appear in source code. For example: "String", "int[]", or "java.io.File".

Parameters:

typeName - the type name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if null is specified
