Method Details

getContent

String getContent()

Get the content of the comment

Returns:

the content of the comment

setContent

<E extends CtComment> E setContent(String content)

getRawContent

String getRawContent()

Returns:

the original raw comment from the source file including comment prefix and suffix, indentation (including TABs) original EOLs, based on the attached position object (the returned value is "derived" from the position). If the file pointed to in the position object does not exist on disk anymore, then the empty string "" is returned Note: the call of setContent(String) doesn't influence the returned value, only the value of the position object.

getCommentType

CtComment.CommentType getCommentType()

Get the type of the comment

Returns:

the comment type

setCommentType

<E extends CtComment> E setCommentType(CtComment.CommentType commentType)

clone

CtComment clone()

Description copied from interface: CtElement

Clone the element which calls this method in a new object. Note that that references are kept as is, and thus, so if you clone whole classes or methods, some parts of the cloned element (eg executable references) may still point to the initial element. In this case, consider using methods Refactoring.copyType(CtType) and Refactoring.copyMethod(CtMethod) instead which does additional work beyond cloning.
