Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:ModuleElement [NONE]
public interface ModuleElement extends Element, QualifiedNameable Represents a module program element. Provides access to information about the module, its directives, and its members. API Note: The represented module may have an explicit reference representation (either source code or executable output) or may be created from implicit information. The explicit and standalone source code construct for a module is typically a `module-info.java` file (JLS 7.7). Automatic modules (JLS 7.7.1) are named modules that do not have a `module-info` file. Implicit information is used to model unnamed modules . In the context of annotation processing, a module element can be: created from the initial inputs to a run of the tool queried for in the configured environment See Java Language Specification : 7.7 Module Declarations Since: 9 See Also: `Elements.getModuleOf(javax.lang.model.element.Element)` ## Nested Class Summary Nested Classes Modifier and Type Interface Description `static interface` `ModuleElement.Directive` Represents a directive within the declaration of this module. `static enum` `ModuleElement.DirectiveKind` The `kind` of a directive. `static interface` `ModuleElement.DirectiveVisitor<R, P>` A visitor of module directives, in the style of the visitor design pattern. `static interface` `ModuleElement.ExportsDirective` An exported package of a module. `static interface` `ModuleElement.OpensDirective` An opened package of a module. `static interface` `ModuleElement.ProvidesDirective` An implementation of a service provided by a module. `static interface` `ModuleElement.RequiresDirective` A dependency of a module. `static interface` `ModuleElement.UsesDirective` A reference to a service used by a module. ## Method Summary Modifier and Type Method Description `TypeMirror` `asType()` Returns a pseudo-type for this module. `List <? extends ModuleElement.Directive>` `getDirectives()` Returns the directives contained in the declaration of this module. `List <? extends Element>` `getEnclosedElements()` Returns the packages within this module. `Element` `getEnclosingElement()` Returns `null` since a module is not enclosed by another element. `Name` `getQualifiedName()` Returns the fully qualified name of this module. `Name` `getSimpleName()` Returns the simple name of this module. `boolean` `isOpen()` Returns `true` if this is an open module and `false` otherwise. `boolean` `isUnnamed()` Returns `true` if this is an unnamed module and `false` otherwise. ### Methods declared in interface javax.lang.model.element.Element `accept, equals, getAnnotation, getAnnotationMirrors, getAnnotationsByType, getKind, getModifiers, hashCode` ## Method Details ### asType TypeMirror asType() Returns a pseudo-type for this module. Specified by: `asType` in interface `Element` Returns: a pseudo-type for this module See Also: `NoType` `TypeKind.MODULE` ### getQualifiedName Name getQualifiedName() Returns the fully qualified name of this module. For an unnamed module , an empty name is returned. Specified by: `getQualifiedName` in interface `QualifiedNameable` API Note: If the module name consists of one identifier, then this method returns that identifier, which is deemed to be module's fully qualified name despite not being in qualified form. If the module name consists of more than one identifier, then this method returns the entire name. Returns: the fully qualified name of this module, or an empty name if this is an unnamed module See Java Language Specification : 6.2 Names and Identifiers ### getSimpleName Name getSimpleName() Returns the simple name of this module. For an unnamed module , an empty name is returned. Specified by: `getSimpleName` in interface `Element` API Note: If the module name consists of one identifier, then this method returns that identifier. If the module name consists of more than one identifier, then this method returns the rightmost such identifier, which is deemed to be the module's simple name. Returns: the simple name of this module or an empty name if this is an unnamed module See Java Language Specification : 6.2 Names and Identifiers See Also: `PackageElement.getSimpleName()` `ExecutableElement.getSimpleName()` `TypeElement.getSimpleName()` `VariableElement.getSimpleName()` `getSimpleName()` `RecordComponentElement.getSimpleName()` ### getEnclosedElements List<? extends Element> getEnclosedElements() Returns the packages within this module. Specified by: `getEnclosedElements` in interface `Element` Returns: the packages within this module See Also: `TypeElement.getEnclosedElements()` `PackageElement.getEnclosedElements()` `getEnclosedElements()` `Elements.getAllMembers(javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement)` ### isOpen boolean isOpen() Returns `true` if this is an open module and `false` otherwise. Returns: `true` if this is an open module and `false` otherwise ### isUnnamed boolean isUnnamed() Returns `true` if this is an unnamed module and `false` otherwise. Returns: `true` if this is an unnamed module and `false` otherwise See Java Language Specification : 7.7.5 Unnamed Modules ### getEnclosingElement Element getEnclosingElement() Returns `null` since a module is not enclosed by another element. Specified by: `getEnclosingElement` in interface `Element` Returns: `null` See Also: `Elements.getPackageOf(javax.lang.model.element.Element)` ### getDirectives List<? extends ModuleElement.Directive> getDirectives() Returns the directives contained in the declaration of this module. Returns: the directives in the declaration of this module
