Interface DocSourcePositions

All Superinterfaces:

SourcePositions

@Exported
public interface DocSourcePositions
extends SourcePositions

Provides methods to obtain the position of a DocTree within a javadoc comment. A position is defined as a simple character offset from the start of a CompilationUnit where the first character is at offset 0.

Since:

1.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
long	getEndPosition(CompilationUnitTree file, DocCommentTree comment, DocTree tree) Gets the ending position of the tree within the comment within the file.
long	getStartPosition(CompilationUnitTree file, DocCommentTree comment, DocTree tree) Gets the starting position of the tree within the comment within the file.

Method Detail

getStartPosition

long getStartPosition(CompilationUnitTree file,
                      DocCommentTree comment,
                      DocTree tree)

Gets the starting position of the tree within the comment within the file. If tree is not found within file, or if the starting position is not available, return Diagnostic.NOPOS. The given tree should be under the given comment tree, and the given documentation comment tree should be returned from a DocTrees.getDocCommentTree(com.sun.source.util.TreePath) for a tree under the given file. The returned position must be at the start of the yield of this tree, that is for any sub-tree of this tree, the following must hold:

tree.getStartPosition() <= subtree.getStartPosition() or
tree.getStartPosition() == NOPOS or
subtree.getStartPosition() == NOPOS

Parameters:

file - CompilationUnit in which to find tree.

comment - the comment tree that encloses the tree for which the position is being sought

tree - tree for which a position is sought.

Returns:

the start position of tree.

getEndPosition

long getEndPosition(CompilationUnitTree file,
                    DocCommentTree comment,
                    DocTree tree)

Gets the ending position of the tree within the comment within the file. If tree is not found within file, or if the ending position is not available, return Diagnostic.NOPOS. The given tree should be under the given comment tree, and the given documentation comment tree should be returned from a DocTrees.getDocCommentTree(com.sun.source.util.TreePath) for a tree under the given file. The returned position must be at the end of the yield of this tree, that is for any sub-tree of this tree, the following must hold:

tree.getEndPosition() >= subtree.getEndPosition() or
tree.getEndPosition() == NOPOS or
subtree.getEndPosition() == NOPOS

In addition, the following must hold:

tree.getStartPosition() <= tree.getEndPosition() or
tree.getStartPosition() == NOPOS or
tree.getEndPosition() == NOPOS

Parameters:

file - CompilationUnit in which to find tree.

comment - the comment tree that encloses the tree for which the position is being sought

tree - tree for which a position is sought.

Returns:

the start position of tree.
