public interface CtShadowable

A shadow element is an element that is in the Spoon model, but does not exist in the actual source code. The goal of shadow elements is to simplify transformations.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description

Method Detail

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().
