Bug 353533

Description Konstantin Komissarchik 2011-08-01 20:15:38 EDT

When an inner class is used in a model element definition (perhaps to define the type of the value property), the annotation processor generates an unnecessary import statement.

For instance, given the following element definition:

public interface ResourceRef extends IModelElement
{
    ModelElementType TYPE = new ModelElementType( ResourceRef.class );
    
     // *** AuthenticationMethod ***
    
    enum AuthenticationMethod
    {
        APPLICATION,
        CONTAINER
    }
    
    @Type( base = AuthenticationMethod.class )

    ValueProperty PROP_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = new ValueProperty( TYPE, "AuthenticationMethod" );
    
    Value<AuthenticationMethod> getAuthenticationMethod();
    void setAuthenticationMethod( String value );
    void setAuthenticationMethod( AuthenticationMethod value );
}

The annotation processor will include the following import statement when generating the implementation class:

import org.eclipse.sapphire.samples.jee.environment.ResourceRef.AuthenticationMethod;

This import is unnecessary and generates import is never used warning.
