Enum ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind>

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind>

Enclosing interface:

ASTAnyTypeDeclaration

@Deprecated
public static enum ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind
extends Enum<ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind>

Deprecated.

This is not useful, not adapted to the problem, and does not scale to changes in the Java language. The only use of this is to get a name, this can be replaced with PrettyPrintingUtil.

Besides, the real problem is that

• enums are also classes
• annotations are also interfaces
• there are also anonymous classes in PMD 7.0, so this cannot even be used to downcast safely

We can also expect new kinds of type declarations (eg records) in the future, which will force us to add new constants and aggravates the problem. Ultimately, dividing "kinds" with an enum is not adapted. Same problem with ASTAnyTypeBodyDeclaration.DeclarationKind

The kind of type this node declares.

public static final ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind ENUM

Deprecated.

Method Detail

values

public static ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind[] values()

Deprecated.

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind c : ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind valueOf(String name)

Deprecated.

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getPrintableName

public String getPrintableName()

Deprecated.
