public abstract class Type

extends ASTNode

Abstract base class of all type AST node types. A type node represents a reference to a primitive type (including void), to a named class or interface type, or to an array type.

 Type:
    PrimitiveType
    SimpleType
    ArrayType
 PrimitiveType:
    byte
    short
    char
    int
    long
    float
    double
    boolean
    void
 SimpleType:
    TypeName
 ArrayType:
    Type [ ]

Method Detail

isPrimitiveType

public final boolean isPrimitiveType()

Returns whether this type is a primitive type (PrimitiveType).

Returns:

true if this is a primitive type, and false otherwise

isSimpleType

public final boolean isSimpleType()

Returns whether this type is a simple type (SimpleType).

Returns:

true if this is a simple type, and false otherwise

isArrayType

public final boolean isArrayType()

Returns whether this type is an array type (ArrayType).

Returns:

true if this is an array type, and false otherwise

resolveBinding

public final ITypeBinding resolveBinding()

Resolves and returns the binding for this type.

Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

Returns:

the type binding, or null if the binding cannot be resolved
