    Returns true if this declaration is declared final. This takes implicit modifiers into account.
  - getTypeMirror
```
JTypeMirror getTypeMirror(Substitution subst)
```
    Returns the type of this value, under the given substitution.
  - tryGetNode
```
default @Nullable N tryGetNode()
```
    Description copied from interface: JElementSymbol
    
    Returns the node that declares this symbol. Eg for JMethodSymbol, it's an ASTMethodDeclaration. Will only return non-null if the symbol is declared in the file currently being analysed.
