isInJavadoc
public boolean isInJavadoc()Tell user whether completion takes place in a javadoc comment or not.- Returns:
- boolean true if completion takes place in a javadoc comment, false otherwise.
- Since:
- 3.2
-
isInJavadocText
public boolean isInJavadocText()Tell user whether completion takes place in text area of a javadoc comment or not.- Returns:
- boolean true if completion takes place in a text area of a javadoc comment, false otherwise.
- Since:
- 3.2
-
isInJavadocFormalReference
public boolean isInJavadocFormalReference()Tell user whether completion takes place in a formal reference of a javadoc tag or not. Tags with formal reference are:- @see
- @throws
- @exception
- {@link Object}
- {@linkplain Object}
- {@value} when compiler compliance is set at leats to 1.5
- Returns:
- boolean true if completion takes place in formal reference of a javadoc tag, false otherwise.
- Since:
- 3.2
-
isExtended
public boolean isExtended()Returns whether this completion context is an extended context. Some methods of this context can be used only if this context is an extended context but an extended context consumes more memory.- Returns:
true
if this completion context is an extended context.- Since:
- 3.4
-
getExpectedTypesSignatures
public char[][] getExpectedTypesSignatures()Return signatures of expected types of a potential completion proposal at the completion position. It's not mandatory to a completion proposal to respect this expectation.- Returns:
- signatures expected types of a potential completion proposal at the completion position or
null
if there is no expected types. - See Also:
-
getExpectedTypesKeys
public char[][] getExpectedTypesKeys()Return keys of expected types of a potential completion proposal at the completion position. It's not mandatory to a completion proposal to respect this expectation.- Returns:
- keys of expected types of a potential completion proposal at the completion position or
null
if there is no expected types. - See Also:
-
getToken
public char[] getToken()Returns the completed token. This token is either the identifier or Java language keyword or the string literal under, immediately preceding, the original request offset. If the original request offset is not within or immediately after an identifier or keyword or a string literal then the returned value isnull
.- Returns:
- completed token or
null
- Since:
- 3.2
-
getTokenKind
public int getTokenKind()Returns the kind of completion token being proposed.The set of different kinds of completion token is expected to change over time. It is strongly recommended that clients do not assume that the kind is one of the ones they know about, and code defensively for the possibility of unexpected future growth.
- Returns:
- the kind; one of the kind constants declared on
this class whose name starts with
TOKEN_KIND
, or possibly a kind unknown to the caller - Since:
- 3.2
-
getTokenLocation
public int getTokenLocation()Returns the location of completion token being proposed. The returned location is a bit mask which can contain some values of the constants declared on this class whose name starts withTL
, or possibly values unknown to the caller.The set of different location values is expected to change over time. It is strongly recommended that clients do not assume that the location contains only known value, and code defensively for the possibility of unexpected future growth.
- Returns:
- the location
- Since:
- 3.4
-
getTokenStart
public int getTokenStart()Returns the character index of the start of the subrange in the source file buffer containing the relevant token being completed. This token is either the identifier or Java language keyword under, or immediately preceding, the original request offset. If the original request offset is not within or immediately after an identifier or keyword, then the position returned is original request offset and the token range is empty.- Returns:
- character index of token start position (inclusive)
- Since:
- 3.2
-
getTokenEnd
public int getTokenEnd()Returns the character index of the end (exclusive) of the subrange in the source file buffer containing the relevant token. When there is no relevant token, the range is empty (getTokenEnd() == getTokenStart() - 1
).- Returns:
- character index of token end position (exclusive)
- Since:
- 3.2
-
getOffset
public int getOffset()Returns the offset position in the source file buffer after which code assist is requested.- Returns:
- offset position in the source file buffer
- Since:
- 3.2
-
getEnclosingElement
Returns the innermost enclosing Java element which contains the completion location ornull
if this element cannot be computed. The returned Java element and all Java elements in the same compilation unit which can be navigated to from the returned Java element are special Java elements:- they are based on the current content of the compilation unit's buffer, they are not the result of a reconcile operation
- they are not updated if the buffer changes.
- they do not contain local types which are not visible from the completion location.
- they do not give information about categories.
IMember.getCategories()
will return an empty array
null
include:- the compilation unit no longer exists
- the completion occurred in a binary type. However this restriction might be relaxed in the future.
- Returns:
- the innermost enclosing Java element which contains the completion location or
null
if this element cannot be computed. - Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the context is not an extended context- Since:
- 3.4
-
getVisibleElements
Return the elements which are visible from the completion location and which can be assigned to the given type. An element is assignable if its type can be assigned to a variable of the given type, as specified in section 5.2 of The Java Language Specification, Third Edition (JLS3). A visible element is either:- a
ILocalVariable
- the element type isILocalVariable.getTypeSignature()
- a
IField
- the element type isIField.getTypeSignature()
- a
IMethod
- the element type isIMethod.getReturnType()
- they are based on the current content of the compilation unit's buffer, they are not the result of a reconcile operation
- they are not updated if the buffer changes.
- they do not contain local types which are not visible from the completion location.
- they do not give information about categories.
IMember.getCategories()
will return an empty array
- the compilation unit no longer exists
- the completion occurred in a binary type. However this restriction might be relaxed in the future.
- Parameters:
typeSignature
- elements which can be assigned to this type are returned. Ifnull
there is no constraint on the type of the returned elements.- Returns:
- elements which are visible from the completion location and which can be assigned to the given type.
- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the context is not an extended context- Since:
- 3.4
