Method Detail

values

public static StandardLocation[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (StandardLocation c : StandardLocation.values())
 System.out.println(c);

Returns:: an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static StandardLocation valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:: name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:: the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name; NullPointerException - if the argument is null

locationFor

public static JavaFileManager.Location locationFor(String name)

Gets a location object with the given name. The following property must hold:

locationFor(x) ==
 locationFor(y)

if and only if x.equals(y). The returned location will be an output location if and only if name ends with "_OUTPUT".

Parameters:: name - a name
Returns:: a location

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: JavaFileManager.Location

Gets the name of this location.

Specified by:: getName in interface JavaFileManager.Location

Returns:: a name

isOutputLocation

public boolean isOutputLocation()
