Method Details
- 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
