IType (Eclipse 3.5.2 Javadoc and Source)

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable, IAnnotatable, IJavaElement, IMember, IParent, ISourceManipulation, ISourceReference

All Known Implementing Classes:

AssistSourceType, BinaryType, ResolvedBinaryType, ResolvedSourceType, SourceType
```
public interface IType
extends IMember, IAnnotatable
```
Represents either a source type in a compilation unit (either a top-level type, a member type, a local type or an anonymous type) or a binary type in a class file. Enumeration classes and annotation types are subkinds of classes and interfaces, respectively.
Note that the element name of an anonymous source type is always empty.
If a binary type cannot be parsed, its structure remains unknown. Use IJavaElement.isStructureKnown to determine whether this is the case.

The children are of type IMember, which includes IField, IMethod, IInitializer and IType. The children are listed in the order in which they appear in the source or class file.

```
    Creates and returns a field in this type with the given contents.
    Optionally, the new element can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the element will be inserted as the last field declaration in this type.
    
    It is possible that a field with the same name already exists in this type. The value of the force parameter effects the resolution of such a conflict:
    - true - in this case the field is created with the new contents
    - false - in this case a JavaModelException is thrown
    Parameters:
    contents - the given contents
    sibling - the given sibling
    force - a flag in case the same name already exists in this type
    monitor - the given progress monitor
    
    Returns:
    a field in this type with the given contents
    
    Throws:
    JavaModelException - if the element could not be created. Reasons include:
    
    This Java element does not exist (ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
    
    A CoreException occurred while updating an underlying resource
    The specified sibling is not a child of this type (INVALID_SIBLING)
    The contents could not be recognized as a field declaration (INVALID_CONTENTS)
    This type is read-only (binary) (READ_ONLY)

                               throws JavaModelException
```
    Creates and returns a static initializer in this type with the given contents.
    Optionally, the new element can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the new initializer is positioned after the last existing initializer declaration, or as the first member in the type if there are no initializers.
    Parameters:
    contents - the given contents
    sibling - the given sibling
    monitor - the given progress monitor
    
    Returns:
    a static initializer in this type with the given contents
    
    Throws:
    JavaModelException - if the element could not be created. Reasons include:
    
    This element does not exist
    A CoreException occurred while updating an underlying resource
    The specified sibling is not a child of this type (INVALID_SIBLING)
    The contents could not be recognized as an initializer declaration (INVALID_CONTENTS)

                     throws JavaModelException
```
    Creates and returns a method or constructor in this type with the given contents.
    Optionally, the new element can be positioned before the specified sibling. If no sibling is specified, the element will be appended to this type.
    It is possible that a method with the same signature already exists in this type. The value of the force parameter effects the resolution of such a conflict:
    - true - in this case the method is created with the new contents
    - false - in this case a JavaModelException is thrown
    Parameters:
    contents - the given contents
    sibling - the given sibling
    force - a flag in case the same name already exists in this type

                                throws JavaModelException
```
    Creates and returns a type hierarchy for this type containing this type, all of its supertypes, and all its subtypes in the context of the given project, considering types in the working copies with the given owner. In other words, the owner's working copies will take precedence over their original compilation units in the workspace.
    Note that if a working copy is empty, it will be as if the original compilation unit had been deleted.
    
    Parameters:
    project - the given project
    owner - the owner of working copies that take precedence over their original compilation units
    monitor - the given progress monitor
    
    Returns:
    a type hierarchy for this type containing this type, all of its supertypes, and all its subtypes in the context of the given project

```
    Creates and returns a type hierarchy for this type containing this type, all of its supertypes, and all its subtypes in the workspace, considering types in the given working copies. In other words, the list of working copies that will take precedence over their original compilation units in the workspace.
    Note that passing an empty working copy will be as if the original compilation unit had been deleted.
    
    Parameters:
    workingCopies - the working copies that take precedence over their original compilation units
    monitor - the given progress monitor
    
    Returns:
    a type hierarchy for this type containing this type, all of its supertypes, and all its subtypes in the workspace

  - resolveType
```
String[][] resolveType(String typeName)
                       throws JavaModelException
```
    Resolves the given type name within the context of this type (depending on the type hierarchy and its imports).
    Multiple answers might be found in case there are ambiguous matches.
    
    Each matching type name is decomposed as an array of two strings, the first denoting the package name (dot-separated) and the second being the type name. The package name is empty if it is the default package. The type name is the type qualified name using a '.' enclosing type separator.
    
    Returns null if unable to find any matching type.
    
    For example, resolution of "Object" would typically return {{"java.lang", "Object"}}. Another resolution that returns {{"", "X.Inner"}} represents the inner type Inner defined in type X in the default package.
    
    Parameters:
    typeName - the given type name
    
    Returns:
    the resolved type names or null if unable to find any matching type
    
    Throws:
    
    JavaModelException - if code resolve could not be performed.

```
    Resolves the given type name within the context of this type (depending on the type hierarchy and its imports) and using the given owner's working copies, considering types in the working copies with the given owner. In other words, the owner's working copies will take precedence over their original compilation units in the workspace.
