Method Details

getDeclaration

CtModule getDeclaration()

Description copied from interface: CtReference

Returns the declaration that corresponds to the referenced element only if the declaration is in the analyzed source files. It is strongly advised to use the more robust CtTypeReference.getTypeDeclaration() and CtExecutableReference.getExecutableDeclaration() that never return null.

Specified by:

getDeclaration in interface CtReference

Returns:

referenced element or null if element is not in the source path (aka input resource).

clone

CtModuleReference 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.

clone in interface CtElement
