Diagnostic.Kind (Java SE 15 & JDK 15) (original) (raw)

All Implemented Interfaces:

[Serializable](../../../java.base/java/io/Serializable.html "interface in java.io"), [Comparable](../../../java.base/java/lang/Comparable.html "interface in java.lang")<[Diagnostic.Kind](Diagnostic.Kind.html "enum in javax.tools")>, [Constable](../../../java.base/java/lang/constant/Constable.html "interface in java.lang.constant")

Enclosing interface:

Diagnostic<S>

public static enum Diagnostic.Kind extends Enum<Diagnostic.Kind>

Kinds of diagnostics, for example, error or warning. The kind of a diagnostic can be used to determine how the diagnostic should be presented to the user. For example, errors might be colored red or prefixed with the word "Error", while warnings might be colored yellow or prefixed with the word "Warning". There is no requirement that the Kind should imply any inherent semantic meaning to the message of the diagnostic: for example, a tool might provide an option to report all warnings as errors.

• Enum Constant Details

  • ERROR

  Problem which prevents the tool's normal completion.

  • WARNING

  Problem which does not usually prevent the tool from completing normally.

  • MANDATORY_WARNING

  Problem similar to a warning, but is mandated by the tool's specification. For example, the Java Language Specification mandates warnings on certain unchecked operations and the use of deprecated methods.

  • NOTE

  Informative message from the tool.

  • OTHER

  Diagnostic which does not fit within the other kinds.

• Method Details

  • values

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

  • valueOf

  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.base/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
  [NullPointerException](../../../java.base/java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if the argument is null
