Method Detail

hasClassReference

boolean hasClassReference(java.lang.String name)

Check if this library holds a reference based on the name.

Parameters:

name - the (binary) name trying to resolve

Returns:

true if the classLibrary has a reference, otherwise false

getJavaClass

JavaClass getJavaClass(java.lang.String name)

Get the JavaClass or null if it's not possible

Parameters:

name - The (binary) name of the JavaClass

Returns:

the JavaClass, otherwise null

getJavaClass

JavaClass getJavaClass(java.lang.String name,
                       boolean createStub)

Try to retrieve the JavaClass by the (binary) name. If the JavaClss doesn't exist and createStub is true make a stub, otherwise return null

Parameters:

name - the name of the class

createStub - force creation of a stub if the class can't be found

Returns:

the JavaClass, might be null depending on the value of createStub.

getJavaClasses

java.util.Collection<JavaClass> getJavaClasses()

Returns:

all JavaClasses as a List, never null

getJavaSources

java.util.Collection<JavaSource> getJavaSources()

Return all JavaSources of the current library. It's up to the library to decide if also collects JavaSources from it's ancestors

Parameters:

name - The fully qualified name of the JavaPackage

Returns:

The package, otherwise null

getJavaPackages

java.util.Collection<JavaPackage> getJavaPackages()

Return all JavaPackages of the current library. It's up to the library to decide if also collects JavaPackages from it's ancestors

Returns:

all JavaPackages as a List, never null
