Package org.eclipse.jdt.core.jdom

Interface IDOMMethod

All Superinterfaces:
Cloneable, IDOMMember, IDOMNode
public interface IDOMMethod extends IDOMMember
Deprecated.
The JDOM was made obsolete by the addition in 2.0 of the more powerful, fine-grained DOM/AST API found in the org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom package.
Represents a method declaration. The corresponding syntactic units are MethodDeclaration (JLS2 8.4), ConstructorDeclaration (JLS2 8.8), and AbstractMethodDeclaration (JLS2 9.4). A method has no children and its parent is a type. Local classes are considered to be part of the body of a method, not a child. Annotation type members, added in J2SE 1.5, are represented as methods.
Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

    • addException

      void addException(String exceptionType) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Deprecated.
      Adds the given exception to the end of the list of exceptions this method is declared to throw. The syntax for an exception type name is defined by Method Throws (JLS2 8.4.4).
