Interface: javax.lang.model.element.Name
- public interface Name
- extends CharSequence
An immutable sequence of characters. When created by the same
implementation, objects implementing this interface must obey the
general equals contract when compared
with each other. Therefore, Name objects from the same
implementation are usable in collections while Names from
different implementations may not work properly in collections.
An empty Name has a length of zero.
In the context of annotation processing, the guarantees for "the same" implementation must include contexts where the API mediated side effects of processors could be visible to each other, including successive annotation processing rounds.
Methods
-
contentEqualstop
public boolean contentEquals(CharSequence cs)Compares this name to the specified CharSequence. The result is true if and only if this name represents the same sequence of char values as the specified sequence. -
equalstop
public boolean equals(Object obj)Returns true if the argument represents the same name as this, and false otherwise.Note that the identity of a Name is a function both of its content in terms of a sequence of characters as well as the implementation which created it.
-
hashCodetop
public int hashCode()Obeys the general contract of Object.hashCode.
