This class wraps Javac tree nodes to allow the JSweet printer adapters to use an API that is independent from the Javac API.

Method Detail

getType

TypeMirror getType()

Gets the type that corresponds to this element, if any.

Not all elements have a type. For instance, statements such as if, case, for, and so on do not have a type, while expressions have a type.

To return the corresponding element rather than the type mirror, use getTypeAsElement() instead. see getTypeAsElement()

getTypeAsElement

Element getTypeAsElement()

Gets the standard element that corresponds to the type (if any).
