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.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)?

• Oct 27 '09 Added GeneratorUtilities.copyComments method.

  Added GeneratorUtilities.copyComments method, which copies comments from one tree to another tree.

• Aug 14 '09 Added TreeUtilities.isEnumConstant() method.

  Added TreeUtilities.isEnumConstant() method, which determines whether tree represents an enum constant.

• Aug 12 '09 Added CompilationInfo.getSourceVersion() method.

  Added CompilationInfo.getSourceVersion() to return the SourceVersion used by the javac compiler.

• Aug 6 '09 Removing the binary compatibility methods (using bytecode patching) from JavaSource

  The JavaSource class contains methods introduced to keep binary compatibility among milestones of NB 6.0. These methods are not needed anymore and will be removed.

• May 7 '09 Added new Method allowing creating varargs methods.

  Adding TreeMake.Method(..., boolean isVarArg) to allow creation of methods with variable lenght of arguments.

Group of property interfaces

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
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.
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.).
