Class AnnotationBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.checkerframework.javacutil.AnnotationBuilder

public class AnnotationBuilder
extends Object

Builds an annotation mirror that may have some values.

Constructing an AnnotationMirror requires:

1. Constructing the builder with the desired annotation class
2. Setting each value individually using setValue methods
3. Calling build() to get the annotation

Once an annotation is built, no further modification or calls to build can be made. Otherwise, a IllegalStateException is thrown.

All setter methods throw IllegalArgumentException if the specified element is not found, or if the given value is not a subtype of the expected type.

Constructor Detail

AnnotationBuilder

public AnnotationBuilder(ProcessingEnvironment env,
                         Class<? extends Annotation> anno)

Create a new AnnotationBuilder for the given annotation and environment (with no elements/fields, but they can be added later).

Parameters:

env - the processing environment

anno - the class of the annotation to build

AnnotationBuilder

public AnnotationBuilder(ProcessingEnvironment env,
                         @FullyQualifiedName CharSequence name)

Create a new AnnotationBuilder for the given annotation name (with no elements/fields, but they can be added later).

Parameters:

env - the processing environment

name - the canonical name of the annotation to build

AnnotationBuilder

public AnnotationBuilder(ProcessingEnvironment env,
                         AnnotationMirror annotation)

Create a new AnnotationBuilder that copies the given annotation, including its elements/fields.

Parameters:

env - the processing environment

annotation - the annotation to copy

Method Detail

elementNamesValues

public static Map<String,AnnotationValue> elementNamesValues(String elementName,
                                                             Object elementValue)

Creates a mapping between element/field names and values.

Parameters:

elementName - the name of an element/field to initialize

elementValue - the initial value for the element/field

Returns:

a mappnig from the element name to the element value

fromClass

public static AnnotationMirror fromClass(Elements elements,
                                         Class<? extends Annotation> aClass)

Creates an AnnotationMirror that uses default values for elements/fields. getElementValues on the result returns default values. If any element does not have a default, this method throws an exception.

Most clients should use fromName(javax.lang.model.util.Elements, java.lang.CharSequence), using a Name created by the compiler. This method is provided as a convenience to create an AnnotationMirror from scratch in a checker's code.

Parameters:

elements - the element utilities to use

aClass - the annotation class

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of the given type

fromClass

public static AnnotationMirror fromClass(Elements elements,
                                         Class<? extends Annotation> aClass,
                                         Map<String,AnnotationValue> elementNamesValues)

Creates an AnnotationMirror given by a particular annotation class and a name-to-value mapping for the elements/fields.

For other elements, getElementValues on the result returns default values. If any such element does not have a default, this method throws an exception.

Most clients should use fromName(javax.lang.model.util.Elements, java.lang.CharSequence), using a Name created by the compiler. This method is provided as a convenience to create an AnnotationMirror from scratch in a checker's code.

Parameters:

elements - the element utilities to use

aClass - the annotation class

elementNamesValues - the values for the annotation's elements/fields

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of the given type

fromName

public static @Nullable AnnotationMirror fromName(Elements elements,
                                                  @FullyQualifiedName CharSequence name)

Creates an AnnotationMirror given by a particular fully-qualified name. getElementValues on the result returns default values. If any element does not have a default, this method throws an exception.

This method returns null if the annotation corresponding to the name could not be loaded.

Parameters:

elements - the element utilities to use

name - the name of the annotation to create

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of type name or null if the annotation couldn't be loaded

fromName

public static @Nullable AnnotationMirror fromName(Elements elements,
                                                  @FullyQualifiedName CharSequence name,
                                                  Map<String,AnnotationValue> elementNamesValues)

Creates an AnnotationMirror given by a particular fully-qualified name and element/field values. If any element is not specified by the elementValues argument, the default value is used. If any such element does not have a default, this method throws an exception.

This method returns null if the annotation corresponding to the name could not be loaded.

Parameters:

elements - the element utilities to use

name - the name of the annotation to create

elementNamesValues - the values for the annotation's elements/fields

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of type name or null if the annotation couldn't be loaded

build

public AnnotationMirror build()

copyElementValuesFromAnnotation

public void copyElementValuesFromAnnotation(AnnotationMirror valueHolder,
                                            String... ignorableElements)

Copies every element value from the given annotation. If an element in the given annotation doesn't exist in the annotation to be built, an error is raised unless the element is specified in ignorableElements.

Parameters:

valueHolder - the annotation that holds the values to be copied

ignorableElements - the elements that can be safely dropped

copyRenameElementValuesFromAnnotation

public void copyRenameElementValuesFromAnnotation(AnnotationMirror valueHolder,
                                                  Map<String,String> elementNameRenaming)

Copies the specified element values from the given annotation, using the specified renaming map. Each value in the map must be an element name in the annotation being built. If an element from the given annotation is not a key in the map, it is ignored.

Parameters:

valueHolder - the annotation that holds the values to be copied

elementNameRenaming - a map from element names in valueHolder to element names of the annotation being built
