Declaration, MemberDeclaration, TypeDeclaration

All Known Subinterfaces:

Deprecated.

All components of this API have been superseded by the standardized annotation processing API. The replacement for the functionality of this interface is included in TypeElement.

@Deprecated
public interface ClassDeclaration
extends TypeDeclaration

Represents the declaration of a class. For the declaration of an interface, see InterfaceDeclaration. Provides access to information about the class, its members, and its constructors. Note that an enum is a kind of class.

While a ClassDeclaration represents the declaration of a class, a ClassType represents a class type. See TypeDeclaration for more on this distinction.

DeclarationFilter provides a simple way to select just the items of interest when a method returns a collection of declarations.
