Method Detail

getModelRepresentation

ExecutableType getModelRepresentation()

Description copied from interface: JavaModelElement

Note that this is distinctly different from JavaModelElement.getDeclaringElement(). This method returns a type mirror describing an element on its position in the type hierarchy. I.e. if an inherited method with type parameters resolved according to the class it is inherited "to".

Specified by:

getModelRepresentation in interface JavaModelElement

Returns:

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

getDeclaringElement

ExecutableElement getDeclaringElement()

Description copied from interface: JavaModelElement

For an inherited method for example, this will return the element in the super type that declares this method.

Specified by:

getDeclaringElement in interface JavaModelElement

Returns:

The element that represents the declaration this model element.

getParent

@Nonnull
JavaTypeElement getParent()

Specified by:

getParent in interface org.revapi.Element<JavaElement>

Specified by:

getParent in interface JavaModelElement
