      this

    • signature

      Maker signature(Object... components)
      Define a signature for this member, which is a string for supporting generic types. The components can be strings or types (class, ClassMaker, etc), which are concatenated into a single string. Consult the JVM specification for the signature syntax.
      Returns:
      this
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if given an unsupported component

    • classMaker

      ClassMaker classMaker()
      Returns the ClassMaker for this item, which can also be used as a type specification.

    • addAnnotation

      AnnotationMaker addAnnotation(Object annotationType, boolean visible)
      Add an annotation to this item.
      Parameters:
      annotationType - name or class which refers to an annotation interface
      visible - true if annotation is visible at runtime
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the annotation type is unsupported

    • addAttribute

      void addAttribute(String name, Object value)
      Add a generic JVM attribute which optionally references a constant value. This is an advanced feature for defining attributes which aren't directly supported by the core maker API. Allowed value types are: int, float, long, double, String, Class, raw byte[], or an array of values. Arrays aren't encoded with any length prefix, but a raw byte[] as the first element can be interpreted as such.
