Method Detail

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()

Returns the value of the 'Abstract' attribute.

It represents whether the class is abstract in the Java sense. For an abstract class, the generated implementation class will be abstract, and the generated factory will not provide support for creating an instance.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Abstract' attribute.

See Also:
