Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:JavaFileManager.Location [NONE]
public static interface JavaFileManager.Location Interface for locations of file objects. Used by file managers to determine where to place or search for file objects. Informally, a `Location` corresponds to a "search path", such as a class path or module path, as used by command-line tools that use the default file system. Some locations are typically used to identify a place in which a tool can find files to be read; others are typically used to identify a place where a tool can write files. If a location is used to identify a place for reading files, those files may be organized in a simple package/class hierarchy: such locations are described as package-oriented. Alternatively, the files may be organized in a module/package/class hierarchy: such locations are described as module-oriented. If a location is typically used to identify a place where a tool can write files, it is up to the tool that writes the files to specify how those files will be organized. You can access the classes in a package-oriented location using methods like `JavaFileManager.getJavaFileForInput(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location, java.lang.String, javax.tools.JavaFileObject.Kind)` or `JavaFileManager.list(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location, java.lang.String, java.util.Set<javax.tools.JavaFileObject.Kind>, boolean)` . It is not possible to directly list the classes in a module-oriented location. Instead, you can get a package-oriented location for any specific module using methods like `JavaFileManager.getLocationForModule(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location, java.lang.String)` or `JavaFileManager.listLocationsForModules(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location)`. ## Method Summary Modifier and Type Method Description `String` `getName()` Returns the name of this location. `default boolean` `isModuleOrientedLocation()` Indicates if this location is module-oriented location, and therefore expected to contain classes in a module/package/class hierarchy, as compared to a package-oriented location, which is expected to contain classes in a package/class hierarchy. `boolean` `isOutputLocation()` Determines if this is an output location. ## Method Details ### getName String getName() Returns the name of this location. Returns: a name ### isOutputLocation boolean isOutputLocation() Determines if this is an output location. An output location is a location that is conventionally used for output. API Note: An output location may be used to write files in either a package-oriented organization or in a module-oriented organization. Returns: true if this is an output location, false otherwise ### isModuleOrientedLocation default boolean isModuleOrientedLocation() Indicates if this location is module-oriented location, and therefore expected to contain classes in a module/package/class hierarchy, as compared to a package-oriented location, which is expected to contain classes in a package/class hierarchy. The result of this method is undefined if this is an output location. Implementation Note: This implementation returns true if the name includes the word "MODULE". Returns: true if this location is expected to contain modules Since: 9
