Package javax.annotation.processing

Class AbstractProcessor

java.lang.Object

javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Processor

public abstract class AbstractProcessor
extends Object
implements Processor

An abstract annotation processor designed to be a convenient superclass for most concrete annotation processors. This class examines annotation values to compute the options, annotation interfaces, and source version supported by its subtypes.

The getter methods may issue warnings about noteworthy conditions using the facilities available after the processor has been initialized.

Subclasses are free to override the implementation and specification of any of the methods in this class as long as the general Processor contract for that method is obeyed.

Since:

1.6

Method Details

getSupportedOptions

public Set<String> getSupportedOptions()

If the processor class is annotated with SupportedOptions, return an unmodifiable set with the same set of strings as the annotation. If the class is not so annotated, an empty set is returned.

Specified by:

getSupportedOptions in interface Processor

Returns:

the options recognized by this processor, or an empty set if none

See Also:

• SupportedOptions

getSupportedAnnotationTypes

public Set<String> getSupportedAnnotationTypes()

If the processor class is annotated with SupportedAnnotationTypes, return an unmodifiable set with the same set of strings as the annotation. If the class is not so annotated, an empty set is returned. If the source version does not support modules, in other words if it is less than or equal to RELEASE_8, then any leading module prefixes are stripped from the names.

Specified by:

getSupportedAnnotationTypes in interface Processor

Returns:

the names of the annotation interfaces supported by this processor, or an empty set if none

See Also:

• SupportedAnnotationTypes

getSupportedSourceVersion

public SourceVersion getSupportedSourceVersion()

If the processor class is annotated with SupportedSourceVersion, return the source version in the annotation. If the class is not so annotated, SourceVersion.RELEASE_6 is returned.

Specified by:

getSupportedSourceVersion in interface Processor

Returns:

the latest source version supported by this processor

See Also:

• SupportedSourceVersion
• ProcessingEnvironment.getSourceVersion()

init

public void init(ProcessingEnvironment processingEnv)

Initializes the processor with the processing environment by setting the processingEnv field to the value of the processingEnv argument. An IllegalStateException will be thrown if this method is called more than once on the same object.

Specified by:

init in interface Processor

Parameters:

processingEnv - environment to access facilities the tool framework provides to the processor

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if this method is called more than once.

getCompletions

public Iterable<? extends Completion> getCompletions(Element element,
 AnnotationMirror annotation,
 ExecutableElement member,
 String userText)

Returns an empty iterable of completions.

Specified by:

getCompletions in interface Processor

Parameters:

element - the element being annotated

annotation - the (perhaps partial) annotation being applied to the element

member - the annotation member to return possible completions for

userText - source code text to be completed

Returns:

an empty iterable of completions

isInitialized

protected boolean isInitialized()

Returns true if this object has been initialized, false otherwise.

Returns:

true if this object has been initialized, false otherwise
