Method Details

name

String name()

Returns the name of the item being made.

public_

Maker public_()

Switch this item to be public.

Returns:

this

private_

Maker private_()

Switch this item to be private.

this

protected_

Maker protected_()

Switch this item to be protected.

Returns:

this

static_

Maker static_()

Switch this item to be static.

this

final_

Maker final_()

Switch this item to be final.

Returns:

this

synthetic

Maker synthetic()

Indicate that this item is synthetic.

Returns:

this

signature

Maker signature(Object... components)

Define a signature for this member, which is a string for supporting generic types. The components can be strings or types (class, ClassMaker, etc.), which are concatenated into a single string. Consult the JVM specification for the signature syntax.

Returns:

this

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if given an unsupported component

classMaker

ClassMaker classMaker()

Returns the ClassMaker for this item, which can also be used as a type specification.

addAnnotation

AnnotationMaker addAnnotation(Object annotationType,
 boolean visible)

Add an annotation to this item.

Parameters:

annotationType - name or class which refers to an annotation interface

visible - true if annotation is visible at runtime

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the annotation type is unsupported

addAttribute

void addAttribute(String name,
 Object value)

Add a generic JVM attribute which optionally references a constant value. This is an advanced feature for defining attributes which aren't directly supported by the core maker API. Allowed value types are: int, float, long, double, String, Class, raw byte[], or an array of values. Arrays aren't encoded with any length prefix, but a raw byte[] as the first element can be interpreted as such.
