    • Element Detail

      • value

        java.lang.String value

        The inline format string. Placeholders like $1, $2 etc can be used where the 1..n parameters of the inlined method are used for $1 to $n and the imported() types are used for subsequent indices. The next index $n can be used to insert all type parameters of the original declaration. And finally the last indices refer to the upper bound substitute of the type parameters individually.

        So the order is arguments, imports, all type parameters at once incl. brackets and upper bounds of the individual type parameters without brackets

        For the following signature
        @Inline(value=".." imported = BigDecimal.class) public void <T1, T2> myMethod(String p1, String p2)

        • $1 refers to p1
        • $2 refers to p2
        • $3 refers to BigDecimal
        • $4 refers to <T1, T2>
        • $5 refers to the upper bound of T1
        • $6 refers to the upper bound of T2

      • imported

        java.lang.Class<?>[] imported
        Types that should be imported to inline the operation.
        Default:
        {}
