Method Detail

getModelRepresentation

ExecutableType getModelRepresentation()

Description copied from interface: JavaModelElement

Specified by:

getModelRepresentation in interface JavaModelElement

Returns:

the representation of this java element at its position in the type hierarchy

getDeclaringElement
