Enum Constant Detail

SOURCE

public static final JavaFileObject.Kind SOURCE

Source files written in the Java programming language. For example, regular files ending with .java.


CLASS

public static final JavaFileObject.Kind CLASS

Class files for the Java Virtual Machine. For example, regular files ending with .class.


HTML

public static final JavaFileObject.Kind HTML

HTML files. For example, regular files ending with .html.


OTHER

public static final JavaFileObject.Kind OTHER

Any other kind.

extension

public final String extension

The extension which (by convention) is normally used for this kind of file object. If no convention exists, the empty string ("") is used.

Method Detail

values

public static JavaFileObject.Kind[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (JavaFileObject.Kind c : JavaFileObject.Kind.values())   System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared


valueOf

public static JavaFileObject.Kind valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (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](../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if the argument is null
