### class:ElementKind [NONE]
public enum ElementKind extends Enum<ElementKind> The `kind` of an element. Note that it is possible additional element kinds will be added to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java programming language. Since: 1.6 See Also: `Element` ## Nested Class Summary ## Nested classes/interfaces declared in class java.lang.Enum `Enum.EnumDesc<E extends Enum<E>>` ## Enum Constant Summary Enum Constants Enum Constant Description `ANNOTATION_TYPE` An annotation interface. `BINDING_VARIABLE` A binding variable in a pattern. `CLASS` A class not described by a more specific kind (like `ENUM` or `RECORD`). `CONSTRUCTOR` A constructor. `ENUM` An enum class. `ENUM_CONSTANT` An enum constant. `EXCEPTION_PARAMETER` A parameter of an exception handler. `FIELD` A field not described by a more specific kind (like `ENUM_CONSTANT`). `INSTANCE_INIT` An instance initializer. `INTERFACE` An interface not described by a more specific kind (like `ANNOTATION_TYPE`). `LOCAL_VARIABLE` A local variable. `METHOD` A method. `MODULE` A module. `OTHER` An implementation-reserved element. `PACKAGE` A package. `PARAMETER` A parameter of a method or constructor. `RECORD` A record class. `RECORD_COMPONENT` A record component of a `record`. `RESOURCE_VARIABLE` A resource variable. `STATIC_INIT` A static initializer. `TYPE_PARAMETER` A type parameter. ## Method Summary Modifier and Type Method Description `boolean` `isClass()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of class: either `CLASS` or `ENUM` or `RECORD`. `boolean` `isDeclaredType()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of declared type, a class or an interface, and `false` otherwise. `boolean` `isExecutable()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of executable: either `METHOD` or `CONSTRUCTOR` or `STATIC_INIT` or `INSTANCE_INIT`. `boolean` `isField()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of field: either `FIELD` or `ENUM_CONSTANT`. `boolean` `isInitializer()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of initializer: either `STATIC_INIT` or `INSTANCE_INIT`. `boolean` `isInterface()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of interface: either `INTERFACE` or `ANNOTATION_TYPE`. `boolean` `isVariable()` Returns `true` if this is a kind of variable: including `ENUM_CONSTANT`, `FIELD`, `PARAMETER`, `LOCAL_VARIABLE`, `EXCEPTION_PARAMETER`, `RESOURCE_VARIABLE`, and `BINDING_VARIABLE`. `static ElementKind` `valueOf (String name)` Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. `static ElementKind[]` `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared. ### Methods declared in class java.lang.Enum `clone, compareTo, describeConstable, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf` ### Methods declared in class java.lang.Object `getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait` ## Enum Constant Details ### PACKAGE public static final ElementKind PACKAGE A package. ### ENUM public static final ElementKind ENUM An enum class. ### CLASS public static final ElementKind CLASS A class not described by a more specific kind (like `ENUM` or `RECORD`). ### ANNOTATION_TYPE public static final ElementKind ANNOTATION_TYPE An annotation interface. (Formerly known as an annotation type.) ### INTERFACE public static final ElementKind INTERFACE An interface not described by a more specific kind (like `ANNOTATION_TYPE`). ### ENUM_CONSTANT public static final ElementKind ENUM_CONSTANT An enum constant. ### FIELD public static final ElementKind FIELD A field not described by a more specific kind (like `ENUM_CONSTANT`). ### PARAMETER public static final ElementKind PARAMETER A parameter of a method or constructor. ### LOCAL_VARIABLE public static final ElementKind LOCAL_VARIABLE A local variable. ### EXCEPTION_PARAMETER public static final ElementKind EXCEPTION_PARAMETER A parameter of an exception handler. ### METHOD public static final ElementKind METHOD A method. ### CONSTRUCTOR public static final ElementKind CONSTRUCTOR A constructor. ### STATIC_INIT public static final ElementKind STATIC_INIT A static initializer. ### INSTANCE_INIT public static final ElementKind INSTANCE_INIT An instance initializer. ### TYPE_PARAMETER public static final ElementKind TYPE_PARAMETER A type parameter. ### OTHER public static final ElementKind OTHER An implementation-reserved element. This is not the element you are looking for. ### RESOURCE_VARIABLE public static final ElementKind RESOURCE_VARIABLE A resource variable. Since: 1.7 ### MODULE public static final ElementKind MODULE A module. Since: 9 ### RECORD public static final ElementKind RECORD A record class. Since: 16 ### RECORD_COMPONENT public static final ElementKind RECORD_COMPONENT A record component of a `record`. Since: 16 ### BINDING_VARIABLE public static final ElementKind BINDING_VARIABLE A binding variable in a pattern. Since: 16 ## Method Details ### values public static ElementKind[] values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared. Returns: an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared ### valueOf public static ElementKind valueOf (String name) Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null ### isClass public boolean isClass() Returns `true` if this is a kind of class: either `CLASS` or `ENUM` or `RECORD`. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of class ### isInterface public boolean isInterface() Returns `true` if this is a kind of interface: either `INTERFACE` or `ANNOTATION_TYPE`. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of interface ### isDeclaredType public boolean isDeclaredType() Returns `true` if this is a kind of declared type, a class or an interface, and `false` otherwise. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of declared type, a class or an interface, and `false` otherwise Since: 19 ### isField public boolean isField() Returns `true` if this is a kind of field: either `FIELD` or `ENUM_CONSTANT`. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of field ### isExecutable public boolean isExecutable() Returns `true` if this is a kind of executable: either `METHOD` or `CONSTRUCTOR` or `STATIC_INIT` or `INSTANCE_INIT`. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of executable Since: 19 ### isInitializer public boolean isInitializer() Returns `true` if this is a kind of initializer: either `STATIC_INIT` or `INSTANCE_INIT`. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of initializer Since: 19 ### isVariable public boolean isVariable() Returns `true` if this is a kind of variable: including `ENUM_CONSTANT`, `FIELD`, `PARAMETER`, `LOCAL_VARIABLE`, `EXCEPTION_PARAMETER`, `RESOURCE_VARIABLE`, and `BINDING_VARIABLE`. Returns: `true` if this is a kind of variable Since: 19
