Method Detail

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns an integer value identifying the type of this concrete AST node. The values are small positive integers, suitable for use in switch statements.

For each concrete node type there is a unique node type constant (name and value). The unique node type constant for a concrete node type such as CastExpression is ASTNode.CAST_EXPRESSION.

Specified by:

getNodeType in class ASTNode

Returns:

one of the node type constants

subtreeMatch

public boolean subtreeMatch(ASTMatcher matcher,
                            Object other)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns whether the subtree rooted at the given node matches the given other object as decided by the given matcher.

Specified by:

subtreeMatch in class ASTNode

Parameters:

matcher - the matcher

other - the other object, or null

Returns:

true if the subtree matches, or false if they do not match

getComment

public String getComment()

Returns the Javadoc comment string, including the starting and ending comment delimiters, and any embedded line breaks.

Returns:

the javadoc comment string

setComment

public void setComment(String javadocComment)

Sets or clears the Javadoc comment string. The documentation string must include the starting and ending comment delimiters, and any embedded line breaks.

Parameters:

javadocComment - the javadoc comment string
