    • belongToAnyOf

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION belongToAnyOf(Class<?>... classes)
      Matches every class in the supplied list and any of their named/anonymous inner classes, no matter how deeply nested. E.g. consider 
      
 class Outer {
     class Inner {
         class EvenMoreInner {
         }
     }
 }
      Then belongToAnyOf(Outer.class) would match the JavaClass Outer but also Inner and EvenMoreInner. Likewise would hold for any anonymous inner classes.
      Parameters:
      classes - List of Class objects.
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

    • doNotBelongToAnyOf

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION doNotBelongToAnyOf(Class<?>... classes)
      Inverted form of belongToAnyOf(Outer.class)
      Parameters:
      classes - List of Class objects.
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

    • containAnyMembersThat

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION containAnyMembersThat(DescribedPredicate<? super JavaMember> predicate)
      Matches classes that contain any member matching the supplied predicate.

      Note that many predefined predicates can be found within a subclass Predicates of the respective domain object or a common ancestor. For example, predicates targeting JavaMember can be found within JavaMember.Predicates or one of the respective ancestors like HasName.Predicates.
      Parameters:
      predicate - A predicate defining matching JavaMembers
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

    • containAnyFieldsThat

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION containAnyFieldsThat(DescribedPredicate<? super JavaField> predicate)
      Matches classes that contain any field matching the supplied predicate.

      Note that many predefined predicates can be found within a subclass Predicates of the respective domain object or a common ancestor. For example, predicates targeting JavaField can be found within JavaMember.Predicates or one of the respective ancestors like HasName.Predicates.
      Parameters:
      predicate - A predicate defining matching JavaFields
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

    • containAnyCodeUnitsThat

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION containAnyCodeUnitsThat(DescribedPredicate<? super JavaCodeUnit> predicate)
      Matches classes that contain any code unit matching the supplied predicate.

      Note that many predefined predicates can be found within a subclass Predicates of the respective domain object or a common ancestor. For example, predicates targeting JavaCodeUnit can be found within JavaCodeUnit.Predicates or one of the respective ancestors like JavaMember.Predicates.
      Parameters:
      predicate - A predicate defining matching JavaCodeUnits
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

    • containAnyMethodsThat

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION containAnyMethodsThat(DescribedPredicate<? super JavaMethod> predicate)
      Matches classes that contain any method matching the supplied predicate.

      Note that many predefined predicates can be found within a subclass Predicates of the respective domain object or a common ancestor. For example, predicates targeting JavaMethod can be found within JavaCodeUnit.Predicates or one of the respective ancestors like JavaMember.Predicates.
      Parameters:
      predicate - A predicate defining matching JavaMethods
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

    • containAnyConstructorsThat

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION containAnyConstructorsThat(DescribedPredicate<? super JavaConstructor> predicate)
      Matches classes that contain any constructor matching the supplied predicate.

      Note that many predefined predicates can be found within a subclass Predicates of the respective domain object or a common ancestor. For example, predicates targeting JavaConstructor can be found within JavaCodeUnit.Predicates or one of the respective ancestors like JavaMember.Predicates.
      Parameters:
      predicate - A predicate defining matching JavaConstructors
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule

      @PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS) CONJUNCTION containAnyStaticInitializersThat(DescribedPredicate<? super JavaStaticInitializer> predicate)
      Matches classes that contain a static initializer matching the supplied predicate.

      Note that many predefined predicates can be found within a subclass Predicates of the respective domain object or a common ancestor. For example, predicates targeting JavaStaticInitializer can be found within JavaCodeUnit.Predicates or one of the respective ancestors like JavaMember.Predicates.
      Parameters:
      predicate - A predicate defining matching JavaStaticInitializers
      Returns:
      A syntax conjunction element, which can be completed to form a full rule
