public interface IFeatureLinkingCandidate
extends ILinkingCandidate

Exposes additional information about the linked feature if the to-be-linked instance is an XAbstractFeatureCall. A feature call can be linked to a static feature, it can be an extension, or a type literal.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
XAbstractFeatureCall	getFeatureCall() Returns the feature call that is linked.
boolean	isExtension() Returns true if the the linked feature is contributed by an extension.
boolean	isStatic() Returns true if the the linked feature is static.
boolean	isTypeLiteral() Returns true if the the feature call is linked as a type literal.

Method Detail

getFeatureCall

XAbstractFeatureCall getFeatureCall()

Returns the feature call that is linked.

Returns:

the feature call.

isStatic

boolean isStatic()

Returns true if the the linked feature is static.

Returns:

whether the feature is static.

isExtension

boolean isExtension()

Returns true if the the linked feature is contributed by an extension.

Returns:

whether the feature is extension.

isTypeLiteral

boolean isTypeLiteral()

Returns true if the the feature call is linked as a type literal.

Returns:

whether the feature call is a type literal rather than a real feature call.
