Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Field Detail

EXPRESSION_PROPERTY

public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor EXPRESSION_PROPERTY
The "expression" structural property of this node type.

Method Detail

propertyDescriptors

public static java.util.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)

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()
Returns the expression of this return statement, or null if there is none.

Returns:
the expression node, or null if there is none

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)
Sets or clears the expression of this return statement.

Parameters:
expression - the expression node, or null if there is none
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if:
  • the node belongs to a different AST
  • the node already has a parent
  • a cycle in would be created
