Interface SeeTag

All Superinterfaces:

Tag

public interface SeeTag
extends Tag

Represents a user-defined cross-reference to related documentation. The tag can reference a package, class or member, or can hold plain text. (The plain text might be a reference to something not online, such as a printed book, or be a hard-coded HTML link.) The reference can either be inline with the comment, using {@link}, or a separate block comment, using @see. Method name() returns "@link" (no curly braces) or "@see", depending on the tag. Method kind() returns "@see" for both tags.

Method Summary

ClassDoc	referencedClass() Get the class doc referenced by the class name part of @see.
String	referencedClassName() Get the class or interface name of the @see reference.
MemberDoc	referencedMember() Get the member doc for the field, constructor or method referenced by @see.
String	referencedMemberName() Get the field, constructor or method substring of the @see reference.
PackageDoc	referencedPackage() Get the package doc when @see references only a package.

Method Detail

label

String label()

Get the label of the @see tag. Return null if no label is present. For example, for:

@see String#trim() the trim method

return "the trim method".

referencedPackage

PackageDoc referencedPackage()

Get the package doc when @see references only a package. Return null if the package cannot be found, or if @see references any other element (class, interface, field, constructor, method) or non-element. For example, for:

@see java.lang

return the PackageDoc for java.lang.

referencedClassName

String referencedClassName()

Get the class or interface name of the @see reference. The name is fully qualified if the name specified in the original @see tag was fully qualified, or if the class or interface can be found; otherwise it is unqualified. If @see references only a package name, then return the package name instead. For example, for:

@see String#valueOf(java.lang.Object)

return "java.lang.String". For "@see java.lang", return "java.lang". Return null if @see references a non-element, such as @see <a href="java.sun.com">.

referencedClass

ClassDoc referencedClass()

Get the class doc referenced by the class name part of @see. Return null if the class cannot be found. For example, for:

@see String#valueOf(java.lang.Object)

return the ClassDoc for java.lang.String.

referencedMemberName

String referencedMemberName()

Get the field, constructor or method substring of the @see reference. Return null if the reference is to any other element or to any non-element. References to member classes (nested classes) return null. For example, for:

@see String#startsWith(String)

return "startsWith(String)".

referencedMember

MemberDoc referencedMember()

Get the member doc for the field, constructor or method referenced by @see. Return null if the member cannot be found or if the reference is to any other element or to any non-element. References to member classes (nested classes) return null. For example, for:

@see String#startsWith(java.lang.String)

return the MethodDoc for startsWith.
