      Since:
      3.0
    • EXPRESSION_PROPERTY

  • Method Details

    • propertyDescriptors

      public static List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)
      Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.
      Parameters:
      apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants
      Returns:
      a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)
      Since:
      3.0
    • getBody

      public Statement getBody()
      Returns the body of this do statement.
      Returns:
      the body statement node
    • setBody

      public void setBody(Statement statement)
      Sets the body of this do statement.

      Special note: The Java language does not allow a local variable declaration to appear as the body of a do statement (they may only appear within a block). However, the AST will allow a VariableDeclarationStatement as the body of a DoStatement. To get something that will compile, be sure to embed the VariableDeclarationStatement inside a Block.

    • getExpression

      public Expression getExpression()
      Returns the expression of this do statement.
      Returns:
      the expression node
    • setExpression

      public void setExpression(Expression expression)
      Sets the expression of this do statement.
      Parameters:
      expression - the expression node
      Throws:
