Method Detail

matchParents

public static boolean matchParents(TreePath path,
                                   Tree.Kind... kinds)

Determines whether a tree has a particular set of direct parents, ignoring blocks and parentheses.

For example, to test whether an expression (specified by path) is immediately contained by an if statement which is immediately contained in a method, one would invoke:

 matchParents(path, Kind.IF, Kind.METHOD)
 

Parameters:

path - the path to match

kinds - the tree kinds to match against, in ascending order starting from the desired kind of the parent

Returns:

true if the tree path matches the desired kinds, skipping blocks and parentheses, for as many kinds as specified
