Interface ITypeLiteralLinkingCandidate

All Superinterfaces:

IApplicableCandidate, IFeatureLinkingCandidate, ILinkingCandidate

All Known Implementing Classes:

ResolvedTypeLiteral, TypeLiteralLinkingCandidate

public interface ITypeLiteralLinkingCandidate
extends IFeatureLinkingCandidate

A candidate that resolves a feature call to a type literal. A type literal is never static and never an extension.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.eclipse.xtext.common.types.JvmType	getType() Returns the type that shall be resolved as a literal.
java.util.List<LightweightTypeReference>	getTypeArguments() A linked type literal does never have type arguments.
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.
