public interface IParent
Common protocol for Java elements that contain other Java elements.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    IJavaElement[]
    getChildren()
    Returns the immediate children of this element.
    boolean
    hasChildren()
    Returns whether this element has one or more immediate children.

  • Method Details

    • getChildren

      IJavaElement[] getChildren() throws JavaModelException
      Returns the immediate children of this element. Unless otherwise specified by the implementing element, the children are in no particular order.
      Returns:
      the immediate children of this element
      Throws:
      JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource

    • hasChildren

      boolean hasChildren() throws JavaModelException
      Returns whether this element has one or more immediate children. This is a convenience method, and may be more efficient than testing whether getChildren is an empty array.
      Returns:
      true if the immediate children of this element, false otherwise
      Throws:
      JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource
