ITypeLiteralLinkingCandidate (org.eclipse.xtext.xbase 2.30.0.RC2 API)

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

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	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 linked feature is contributed by an extension.
`boolean`	`isStatic()`	Returns `true` if the linked feature is static.
`boolean`	`isTypeLiteral()`	Returns `true` if the feature call is linked as a type literal.

- Method Detail
  - getType
```
org.eclipse.xtext.common.types.JvmType getType()
```
    Returns the type that shall be resolved as a literal.
    
    Returns:
    
    the type.
  - getTypeArguments
```
java.util.List<LightweightTypeReference> getTypeArguments()
```
    A linked type literal does never have type arguments. Returns an empty list.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getTypeArguments in interface ILinkingCandidate
    
    Returns:
    
    an empty list.
  - isTypeLiteral
```
boolean isTypeLiteral()
```
    Description copied from interface: IFeatureLinkingCandidate
    
    Returns true if the feature call is linked as a type literal.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isTypeLiteral in interface IFeatureLinkingCandidate
    
    Returns:
    
    always true.
  - isStatic
```
boolean isStatic()
```
    Description copied from interface: IFeatureLinkingCandidate
    
    Returns true if the linked feature is static.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isStatic in interface IFeatureLinkingCandidate
    
    Returns:
    
    always false.
  - isExtension
```
boolean isExtension()
```
    Description copied from interface: IFeatureLinkingCandidate
    
    Returns true if the linked feature is contributed by an extension.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isExtension in interface IFeatureLinkingCandidate
    
    Returns:
    
    always false.
