Java Source

org.netbeans.api.java.loaders
org.netbeans.api.java.source	Permits inspection and modification of the structure of Java sources.
org.netbeans.api.java.source.matching
org.netbeans.api.java.source.support
org.netbeans.spi.java.loaders

Provides Java Model API access. ensure.built.source.roots When the ensure.built.source.roots property is set during ant script execution, the javac task will not actually build the classfiles from scratch, but rather copy classfiles produced by the Java infrastructure into the output folder. The content of the property will be interpreted as list of source roots, for which the artifacts should be copied.

What is New (see all changes)?

• Apr 11 '12 Added WorkingCopy.resolveRewriteTarget.

  Added a method resolveRewriteTarget to class WorkingCopy, that returns the tree into which the given tree has been rewritten.

• Apr 5 '12 Added GeneratorUtilities.createFromTemplate.

  Added the method createFromTemplate to class GeneratorUtilities, which will create a new CompilationUnitTree from a template.

• Mar 13 '12 Added GeneratorUtilities.appendToAnnotationValue.

  Added two overloaded methods appendToAnnotationValue to class GeneratorUtilites, which augment ModifiersTree or CompilationUnitTree with annotation with the given attribute values.

• Mar 13 '12 Added factory methods to create an ElementHandle for type and package.

  Added a factory methods to create an ElementHandle for type and package from binary name.

• Mar 13 '12 Added ReferencesCount support class which provides frequences of type usage in a source root.

  Added ReferencesCount support class which provides information how many classes on the source path (source root) are using given type or package.

ensure.built.source.roots	Exported	Under Development	When the ensure.built.source.roots property is set during ant script execution, the javac task will not actually build the classfiles from scratch, but rather copy classfiles produced by the Java infrastructure into the output folder. The content of the property will be interpreted as list of source roots, for which the artifacts should be copied.

org.openide.loaders.CreateFromTemplateAttributesProvider	Exported	Official	Attributes provider is registered in META-INF/services. It provides package, javaSourceLevel and java15style attributes for java templates using scripting support.

Group of property interfaces

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
package	Exported	Official	package attribute contains java package as String for newly created templates using scripting.
javaSourceLevel	Exported	Official	javaSourceLevel attribute contains java source level as String (e.g. "1.5") for newly created templates using scripting.
java15style	Exported	Official	java15style attribute is defined for newly created templates using scripting only if java source level is 1.5 or later. Useful to conditionally generate code with java 1.5 features (generics, annotations, etc.).
