 FileObject sibling)
                                    throws IOException

Description copied from interface: JavaFileManager

Returns a file object for output representing the specified class of the specified kind in the given package-oriented location.

Optionally, this file manager might consider the sibling as a hint for where to place the output. The exact semantics of this hint is unspecified. The JDK compiler, javac, for example, will place class files in the same directories as originating source files unless a class file output directory is provided. To facilitate this behavior, javac might provide the originating source file as sibling when calling this method.

Specified by:

getJavaFileForOutput in interface JavaFileManager

Parameters:

location - a package-oriented location

className - the name of a class

kind - the kind of file, must be one of SOURCE or CLASS

sibling - a file object to be used as hint for placement; might be null

Returns:

a file object for output

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if sibling is not known to this file manager, or if the location is not known to this file manager and the file manager does not support unknown locations, or if the kind is not valid, or if the location is not an output location

IllegalStateException - JavaFileManager.close() has been called and this file manager cannot be reopened

IOException - if an I/O error occurred, or if JavaFileManager.close() has been called and this file manager cannot be reopened

getJavaFileForOutputForOriginatingFiles

public JavaFileObject getJavaFileForOutputForOriginatingFiles(JavaFileManager.Location location,
 String className,
 JavaFileObject.Kind kind,
 FileObject... originatingFiles)
                                                       throws IOException

Returns a file object for output representing the specified class of the specified kind in the given package-oriented location.

The provided originatingFiles represent files that were, in an unspecified way, used to create the content of the file created by this method. See originatingElements in Filer.createSourceFile(java.lang.CharSequence, javax.lang.model.element.Element...). Elements.getFileObjectOf(javax.lang.model.element.Element) may be used to convert the Elements to FileObjects.

Specified by:

getJavaFileForOutputForOriginatingFiles in interface JavaFileManager

Implementation Requirements:

If the subclass of the ForwardingJavaFileManager overrides the getJavaFileForOutput(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location, java.lang.String, javax.tools.JavaFileObject.Kind, javax.tools.FileObject) method, this method will delegate to it as per the general contract of JavaFileManager.getJavaFileForOutputForOriginatingFiles(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location, java.lang.String, javax.tools.JavaFileObject.Kind, javax.tools.FileObject...). If the subclass does not override the method, the call will be delegated to the fileManager.

Parameters:

location - a package-oriented location

className - the name of a class

kind - the kind of file, must be one of SOURCE or CLASS

originatingFiles - the files which are contributing to this newly created file; null is equivalent to empty originatingFiles, meaning no known originating files

Returns:

a file object for output

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if sibling is not known to this file manager, or if the location is not known to this file manager and the file manager does not support unknown locations, or if the kind is not valid, or if the location is not an output location

IllegalStateException - JavaFileManager.close() has been called and this file manager cannot be reopened

IOException - if an I/O error occurred, or if JavaFileManager.close() has been called and this file manager cannot be reopened

Since:

18

getFileForInput

public FileObject getFileForInput(JavaFileManager.Location location,
 String packageName,
 String relativeName)
                           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: JavaFileManager

Returns a file object for input representing the specified relative name in the specified package in the given package-oriented location.

If the returned object represents a source or class file, it must be an instance of JavaFileObject.

Informally, the file object returned by this method is located in the concatenation of the location, package name, and relative name. For example, to locate the properties file "resources/compiler.properties" in the package "com.sun.tools.javac" in the SOURCE_PATH location, this method might be called like so:

getFileForInput(SOURCE_PATH, "com.sun.tools.javac", "resources/compiler.properties");

If the call was executed on Windows, with SOURCE_PATH set to "C:\Documents and Settings\UncleBob\src\share\classes", a valid result would be a file object representing the file "C:\Documents and Settings\UncleBob\src\share\classes\com\sun\tools\javac\resources\compiler.properties".

Specified by:

getFileForInput in interface JavaFileManager

Parameters:

location - a package-oriented location

packageName - a package name

relativeName - a relative name

Returns:

a file object, might return null if the file does not exist

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the location is not known to this file manager and the file manager does not support unknown locations, or if relativeName is not valid, or if the location is a module-oriented location

IllegalStateException - if JavaFileManager.close() has been called and this file manager cannot be reopened

IOException - if an I/O error occurred, or if JavaFileManager.close() has been called and this file manager cannot be reopened

getFileForOutput

public FileObject getFileForOutput(JavaFileManager.Location location,
 String packageName,
 String relativeName,
 FileObject sibling)
                            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: JavaFileManager

Returns a file object for output representing the specified relative name in the specified package in the given location.

Optionally, this file manager might consider the sibling as a hint for where to place the output. The exact semantics of this hint is unspecified. The JDK compiler, javac, for example, will place class files in the same directories as originating source files unless a class file output directory is provided. To facilitate this behavior, javac might provide the originating source file as sibling when calling this method.

If the returned object represents a source or class file, it must be an instance of JavaFileObject.

Informally, the file object returned by this method is located in the concatenation of the location, package name, and relative name or next to the sibling argument. See getFileForInput for an example.

Specified by:

getFileForOutput in interface JavaFileManager

Parameters:

location - an output location

packageName - a package name

relativeName - a relative name

sibling - a file object to be used as hint for placement; might be null

Returns:

Returns a file object for output representing the specified relative name in the specified package in the given location.

The provided originatingFiles represent files that were, in an unspecified way, used to create the content of the file created by this method. See originatingElements in Filer.createResource(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location, java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.CharSequence, javax.lang.model.element.Element...). Elements.getFileObjectOf(javax.lang.model.element.Element) may be used to convert the Elements to FileObjects.

If the returned object represents a source or class file, it must be an instance of JavaFileObject.

Informally, the file object returned by this method is located in the concatenation of the location, package name, and relative name or in a location inferred from the originatingFiles. See getFileForInput for an example.

Specified by:
