Class SimpleJavaFileObject

java.lang.Object
javax.tools.SimpleJavaFileObject
All Implemented Interfaces:
FileObject, JavaFileObject
public class SimpleJavaFileObject extends Object implements JavaFileObject
Provides simple implementations for most methods in JavaFileObject. This class is designed to be subclassed and used as a basis for JavaFileObject implementations. Subclasses can override the implementation and specification of any method of this class as long as the general contract of JavaFileObject is obeyed.

      public String getName()
      Description copied from interface: FileObject

    • isNameCompatible

      public boolean isNameCompatible(String simpleName, JavaFileObject.Kind kind)
      Checks if this file object is compatible with the specified simple name and kind. A simple name is a single identifier (not qualified) as defined in The Java Language Specification, section 6.2.
      Specified by:
      isNameCompatible in interface JavaFileObject
      Implementation Requirements:
      This implementation compares the path of its URI to the given simple name. This method returns true if the given kind is equal to the kind of this object, and if the path is equal to simpleName + kind.extension or if it ends with "/" + simpleName + kind.extension.

      This method calls getKind() and toUri() and does not access the fields uri and kind directly.

      Parameters:
      simpleName - a simple name of a class
      kind - a kind
      Returns:
      true if this file object is compatible; false otherwise

    • getNestingKind

      public NestingKind getNestingKind()
      Provides a hint about the nesting level of the class represented by this file object. This method may return NestingKind.MEMBER to mean NestingKind.LOCAL or NestingKind.ANONYMOUS. If the nesting level is not known or this file object does not represent a class file this method returns null.
      Specified by:
      getNestingKind in interface JavaFileObject
      Implementation Requirements:
      This implementation returns null.
      Returns:
      the nesting kind, or null if the nesting kind is not known

    • getAccessLevel

      public Modifier getAccessLevel()
      Provides a hint about the access level of the class represented by this file object. If the access level is not known or this file object does not represent a class file this method returns null.
      Specified by:
      getAccessLevel in interface JavaFileObject
      Implementation Requirements:
      This implementation returns null.
      Returns:
      the access level

    • forSource

      public static JavaFileObject forSource(URI uri, String content)
      Creates a JavaFileObject which represents the given source content.

      The provided uri will be returned from toUri(). The provided content will be returned from getCharContent(boolean). The getKind() method will return JavaFileObject.Kind.SOURCE.

      All other methods will behave as described in the documentation in this class, as if the constructor is called with uri and Kind.SOURCE.

      This method can be, for example, used to compile an in-memory String to a set of classfile in a target directory: 

           var code = """
                public class CompiledCode {}
                """;
     var compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
     var targetDirectory = "...";
     var task = compiler.getTask(null,
                                 null,
                                 null,
                                 List.of("-d", targetDirectory),
                                 null,
                                 List.of(SimpleJavaFileObject.forSource(URI.create("CompiledCode.java"), code)));
     if (!task.call()) {
         throw new IllegalStateException("Compilation failed!");
     }
      Parameters:
      uri - that should be used for the resulting JavaFileObject
      content - the content of the JavaFileObject
      Returns:
      a JavaFileObject representing the given source content.
