abstract IClass	getSuperclass() Returns the superclass of the class. Returns "null" for class "Object", interfaces, arrays, primitive types and "void".
boolean	implementsInterface(IClass that) If this represents a class: Return true if this class directly or indirectly implements that interface.
abstract boolean	isAbstract() Whether the class may be instantiated (JVMS 4.1 access_flags)
abstract boolean	isArray() Returns "true" if this type represents an array.
boolean	isAssignableFrom(IClass that) Determine if "this" is assignable from "that".
abstract boolean	isFinal() Whether subclassing is allowed (JVMS 4.1 access_flags)
abstract boolean	isInterface() Returns "true" if this type represents an interface.
abstract boolean	isPrimitive() Returns "true" if this type represents a primitive type or "void".
abstract boolean	isPrimitiveNumeric() Returns "true" if this type represents "byte", "short", "int", "long", "char", "float" or "double".
abstract boolean	isPublic() Whether the class may be accessed from outside its package (JVMS 4.1 access_flags)

Returns all the constructors declared by the class represented by the type. If the class has a default constructor, it is included.
Returns an empty array for an interface, array, primitive type or "void".

getDeclaredIMethods

public abstract IClass.IMethod[] getDeclaredIMethods()

Returns the methods of the class or interface (but not inherited methods).
Returns an empty array for an array, primitive type or "void".

getDeclaredIFields

public abstract IClass.IField[] getDeclaredIFields()

Returns the fields of a class or interface (but not inherited fields).
Returns an empty array for an array, primitive type or "void".

getDeclaredIClasses

public abstract IClass[] getDeclaredIClasses()

Returns the classes and interfaces declared as members of the class (but not inherited classes and interfaces).
Returns an empty array for an array, primitive type or "void".

getSuperclass

public abstract IClass getSuperclass()
                              throws Java.CompileException

Returns the superclass of the class.
Returns "null" for class "Object", interfaces, arrays, primitive types and "void".

isPublic

public abstract boolean isPublic()

Whether the class may be accessed from outside its package (JVMS 4.1 access_flags)

isFinal

public abstract boolean isFinal()

Whether subclassing is allowed (JVMS 4.1 access_flags)

Returns:

true if subclassing is prohibited

getInterfaces

public abstract IClass[] getInterfaces()
                                throws Java.CompileException

Returns the interfaces implemented by the class.
Returns the superinterfaces of the interface.
Returns "Cloneable" and "Serializable" for arrays.
Returns an empty array for primitive types and "void".

isAbstract

public abstract boolean isAbstract()

Whether the class may be instantiated (JVMS 4.1 access_flags)

Returns:

true if instantiation is prohibited

getDescriptor

public abstract java.lang.String getDescriptor()

Returns the field descriptor for the type as defined by JVMS 4.3.2.

isInterface

public abstract boolean isInterface()

Returns "true" if this type represents an interface.

isArray

public abstract boolean isArray()

Returns "true" if this type represents an array.

isPrimitive

public abstract boolean isPrimitive()

Returns "true" if this type represents a primitive type or "void".
