Interface HasMetaData

All Known Implementing Classes:
JAbstractMethod, JAnnotationMethod, JAnnotationType, JArrayType, JClassType, JConstructor, JEnumConstant, JEnumType, JField, JGenericType, JMethod, JParameter, JParameterizedType, JRawType, JRealClassType, JTypeParameter, JWildcardType

public interface HasMetaData

Manages doc comment metadata for an AST item. The structure of the metadata attempts to mirror the way in which tags and values were originally declared.

For example, for the following declaration

 /**
  * @myTag value1 value2
  * @myTag value3 value4
  * ... 
 
a call to getMetaData("myTag") would return this array of string arrays
[0][0] = value1
[0][1] = value2
[1][0] = value3
[1][1] = value4
 


Method Summary
 void addMetaData(java.lang.String tagName, java.lang.String[] values)
          Deprecated. Javadoc comment metadata has been deprecated in favor of proper Java annotations. The only way to add a Java annotation is via the source code.
 java.lang.String[][] getMetaData(java.lang.String tagName)
          Deprecated. Javadoc comment metadata has been deprecated in favor of proper Java annotations. See HasAnnotations.getAnnotation(Class) for equivalent functionality.
 java.lang.String[] getMetaDataTags()
          Deprecated. Javadoc comment metadata has been deprecated in favor of proper Java annotations. The HasAnnotations interface does not support a mechanism to enumerate all of the annotations on a member; the type of the desired annotation must be known.
