I try to find IType objects for anonymous inner classes, but that doesn't work when using JavaProject.findType(..). Interestingly anonymous inner classes are being found on binary types when submitting the class name with "$1" and the end instead of ".1" (as documented in the javadoc and what is working for non-anonymous inner classes). Is there a possible workaround for this? I looked at IType.getTypes() but it doesn't contain anonymous inner classes either (when invoked on a containing class). The only way I found it walking through all the child elements recursively, there is an IType object present for anonymous inner classes, but that seems to be vague and expensive. Any idea?
Is org.eclipse.jdt.core.IMember.getType(String, int) useful ? This is documented to return an IType corresponding to anonymous types.
Ok, that looks promising, thanks for that. So in case I don't know anything about the class to look for (just getting a name like "ClassA$1") I would need to find out whether the parent class is a binary type or not. In case of a binary type, I could pass "ClassA.1" to findType and get the right result. In case of a source type, I would have to parse the inner class name to see if that is a number or not. In case its a number, I would call "getType("", parsedNumber)" on the source type object, otherwise I could go on with findType. Does that sound reasonable? And is there anything related already implemented somewhere? Just trying to not re-invent the wheel... :-)
Hmmm... I tried this with IMember.getType("", 1) (for example) and it returns an IType object. But calling "exists()" on that returns false. If I walk down the hierarchy of the children objects until I find the anonymous inner class IType object, that one returns true for exists(). Any idea why?
Jay, please take a look and suggest any workarounds - Martin, it would help if you attach a small snippet that shows what exactly you are doing.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have this test class: public class SourceLevelType { public static class SourceLevelInnerType { } public void foo() { new Observer() { @Override public void update(Observable o, Object arg) { new Observer() { @Override public void update(Observable o, Object arg) { } }; } class NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass { public void bar() { new Observer() { @Override public void update(Observable o, Object arg) { } }; } } }; } } That produces these class files: SourceLevelType.class SourceLevelType$1.class SourceLevelType$1$1.class SourceLevelType$1$NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass.class SourceLevelType$1$NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass$1.class SourceLevelType$SourceLevelInnerType.class That looks good so far. And here is what I get from calling findType(..) for the various cases: SourceLevelType -> returns IType and exists is true SourceLevelType$SourceLevelInnerType -> returns IType and exists is true SourceLevelType.SourceLevelInnerType -> returns IType and exists is true SourceLevelType$1 returns IType, but exists is false SourceLevelType.1 returns null SourceLevelType$1$1 returns IType, but exists is false SourceLevelType.1.1 returns null SourceLevelType$1$NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass returns IType, but exists is false SourceLevelType.1.NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass returns null SourceLevelType$1$NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass$1 returns IType, but exists is false SourceLevelType.1.NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass.1 returns null I did the same for binary types (coming from a JAR file): SourceLevelType returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType$SourceLevelInnerType returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType.SourceLevelInnerType returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType$1 returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType.1 returns null SourceLevelType$1$1 returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType.1.1 returns null SourceLevelType$1$NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType.1.NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass returns null SourceLevelType$1$NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass$1 returns IType, exists is true SourceLevelType.1.NamedInnerClassOfAnonymousInnerClass.1 returns null Using IMember.getType("", 1) for the anonymous inner classes works (returns an IType object for all the cases, but exists is always false) Hope this helps to reproduce the cases. Let me know if you need more details.
I can reproduce the reported behavior. But not sure what the expected behavior should be. Need a closer look but can't promise one any time soon as the team is focusing on the Java 8 work. However, if anyone can take a look at the problem and come up with a fix, that would be nice.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
