ASTType (PMD Java 7.0.0-rc2 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Annotatable, GenericNode<JavaNode>, JavaNode, JjtreeNode<JavaNode>, Node, Reportable, TextAvailableNode, TypeNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

ASTReferenceType

All Known Implementing Classes:

ASTAmbiguousName, ASTArrayType, ASTClassOrInterfaceType, ASTIntersectionType, ASTPrimitiveType, ASTUnionType, ASTVoidType, ASTWildcardType
```
public interface ASTType
extends TypeNode, Annotatable
```
Represents a type reference.
Corresponds to the JLS's Type and UnannType at the same time. In some contexts this can also be an intersection type, though the JLS has no production for that.
```
 Type ::= ReferenceType
        | PrimitiveType
        | VoidType

 
```

- Method Detail
  - getTypeImage
```
@Deprecated
default String getTypeImage()
```
    Deprecated.
    This is not meaningful. Use PrettyPrintingUtil
    
    For now this returns the name of the type with all the segments, without annotations, array dimensions, or type parameters. Experimental because we need to specify it, eg it would be more useful to have a method return a qualified name with help of the symbol table.
  - getArrayDepth
```
@Deprecated
default int getArrayDepth()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns the number of array dimensions of this type. This is 0 unless this node isArrayType().
  - isVoid
```
default boolean isVoid()
```
    Returns true if this is the "void" pseudo-type, ie an ASTVoidType.
  - isPrimitiveType
```
@Deprecated
default boolean isPrimitiveType()
```
    Deprecated.
  - isArrayType
```
@Deprecated
default boolean isArrayType()
```
    Deprecated.
  - isClassOrInterfaceType
```
@Deprecated
default boolean isClassOrInterfaceType()
```
    Deprecated.
