  • Method Details

    • isShadow

      boolean isShadow()
      When an element isn't present in the factory (created in another factory), this element is considered as "shadow". e.g., a shadow element can be a CtType of java.lang.Class built when we call CtTypeReference.getTypeDeclaration() on a reference of java.lang.Class.
      Returns:
      true if the element is a shadow element, otherwise false.

    • setShadow

      <E extends CtShadowable> E setShadow​(boolean isShadow)
      Marks an element as shadow. To know what is a shadow element, see the javadoc of isShadow().
