All known Subclasses: org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.internal.declaration.EclipseDeclarationImpl,
| Declaration | | public interface Declaration (Code) | | Represents the declaration of a program element such as a package,
class, or method. Each declaration represents a static, language-level
construct (and not, for example, a runtime construct of the virtual
machine), and typically corresponds one-to-one with a particular
fragment of source code.
Declarations should be compared using the
Declaration.equals(Object) method. There is no guarantee that any particular declaration will
always be represented by the same object.

| accept | | void accept(DeclarationVisitor v)(Code) | | Applies a visitor to this declaration.
Parameters:
v - the visitor operating on this declaration |
| equals | | boolean equals(Object obj)(Code) | | Tests whether an object represents the same declaration as this.
Parameters:
obj - the object to be compared with this declaration true if the specified object represents the samedeclaration as this |
| getAnnotation | | A getAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)(Code) | | Returns the annotation of this declaration having the specified
type. The annotation may be either inherited or directly
present on this declaration.
The annotation returned by this method could contain an element
whose value is of type Class.
This value cannot be returned directly: information necessary to
locate and load a class (such as the class loader to use) is
not available, and the class might not be loadable at all.
Attempting to read a Class object by invoking the relevant
method on the returned annotation
will result in a
MirroredTypeException ,
from which the corresponding
TypeMirror may be extracted.
Similarly, attempting to read a Class[]-valued element
will result in a
MirroredTypesException .
Note: This method is unlike
others in this and related interfaces. It operates on run-time
reflective information -- representations of annotation types
currently loaded into the VM -- rather than on the mirrored
representations defined by and used throughout these
interfaces. It is intended for callers that are written to
operate on a known, fixed set of annotation types.

| getAnnotationMirrors | | Collection<AnnotationMirror> getAnnotationMirrors()(Code) | | Returns the annotations that are directly present on this declaration.
the annotations directly present on this declaration;an empty collection if there are none |
| getDocComment | | String getDocComment()(Code) | | Returns the text of the documentation ("javadoc") comment of
this declaration.
the documentation comment of this declaration, or nullif there is none |
| getModifiers | | Collection<Modifier> getModifiers()(Code) | | Returns the modifiers of this declaration, excluding annotations.
Implicit modifiers, such as the public and static
modifiers of interface members, are included.
the modifiers of this declaration in undefined order;an empty collection if there are none |
| getPosition | | SourcePosition getPosition()(Code) | | Returns the source position of the beginning of this declaration.
Returns null if the position is unknown or not applicable.
This source position is intended for use in providing
diagnostics, and indicates only approximately where a declaration
begins.
the source position of the beginning of this declaration,or null if the position is unknown or not applicable |
| getSimpleName | | String getSimpleName()(Code) | | Returns the simple (unqualified) name of this declaration.
The name of a generic type does not include any reference
to its formal type parameters.
For example, the simple name of the interface declaration
java.util.Set is "Set".
If this declaration represents the empty package, an empty
string is returned.
If it represents a constructor, the simple name of its
declaring class is returned.
