    Enum Constant
    Description
    Indicates that the argument of type java.util.Pattern specifies a class name pattern.
    Used with an argument of type File this should indicate that the parameter represents a directory.
    Indicates that the (primitive) Integer or List / Array of Integers shall represent heap objects.
    By default, the conversion and validation rules are applied that result from the declared type.
    Used with an argument of type File this should indicate that the parameter represents a file to be created or written to.
    Indicates that the argument of type ISnapshot relates to a snapshot other than the current one.

    • NONE

      public static final Argument.Advice NONE
      By default, the conversion and validation rules are applied that result from the declared type.
    • HEAP_OBJECT

      public static final Argument.Advice HEAP_OBJECT
      Indicates that the (primitive) Integer or List / Array of Integers shall represent heap objects.
    • SECONDARY_SNAPSHOT

      public static final Argument.Advice SECONDARY_SNAPSHOT
      Indicates that the argument of type ISnapshot relates to a snapshot other than the current one.
    • CLASS_NAME_PATTERN

      public static final Argument.Advice CLASS_NAME_PATTERN
      Indicates that the argument of type java.util.Pattern specifies a class name pattern. Therefore the appropriate smart fixing is applied.
    • DIRECTORY

      public static final Argument.Advice DIRECTORY

      public static Argument.Advice[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
    • valueOf

      public static Argument.Advice valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
