- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Processor
public abstract class AbstractProcessor extends Object implements Processor
An abstract annotation processor designed to be a convenient superclass for most concrete annotation processors. This class examines annotation values to compute the options, annotation types, and source version supported by its subtypes.The getter methods may issue warnings about noteworthy conditions using the facilities available after the processor has been initialized.
Subclasses are free to override the implementation and specification of any of the methods in this class as long as the general
Processor
contract for that method is obeyed.- Since:
- 1.6

Method Detail
getSupportedOptions
public Set<String> getSupportedOptions()
If the processor class is annotated withSupportedOptions
, return an unmodifiable set with the same set of strings as the annotation. If the class is not so annotated, an empty set is returned.- Specified by:
-
getSupportedOptions
in interfaceProcessor
- Returns:
- the options recognized by this processor, or an empty set if none
- See Also:
-
SupportedOptions
getSupportedAnnotationTypes
public Set<String> getSupportedAnnotationTypes()
If the processor class is annotated withSupportedAnnotationTypes
, return an unmodifiable set with the same set of strings as the annotation. If the class is not so annotated, an empty set is returned.- Specified by:
-
getSupportedAnnotationTypes
in interfaceProcessor
- Returns:
- the names of the annotation types supported by this processor, or an empty set if none
- See Also:
-
SupportedAnnotationTypes
getSupportedSourceVersion
public SourceVersion getSupportedSourceVersion()
If the processor class is annotated withSupportedSourceVersion
, return the source version in the annotation. If the class is not so annotated,SourceVersion.RELEASE_6
is returned.- Specified by:
-
getSupportedSourceVersion
in interfaceProcessor
- Returns:
- the latest source version supported by this processor
- See Also:
-
SupportedSourceVersion
,ProcessingEnvironment.getSourceVersion()
init
public void init(ProcessingEnvironment processingEnv)
Initializes the processor with the processing environment by setting theprocessingEnv
field to the value of theprocessingEnv
argument. AnIllegalStateException
will be thrown if this method is called more than once on the same object.- Specified by:
-
init
in interfaceProcessor
- Parameters:
-
processingEnv
- environment to access facilities the tool framework provides to the processor - Throws:
-
IllegalStateException
- if this method is called more than once.
process
public abstract boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, RoundEnvironment roundEnv)
Processes a set of annotation types on type elements originating from the prior round and returns whether or not these annotation types are claimed by this processor. Iftrue
is returned, the annotation types are claimed and subsequent processors will not be asked to process them; iffalse
is returned, the annotation types are unclaimed and subsequent processors may be asked to process them. A processor may always return the same boolean value or may vary the result based on chosen criteria.The input set will be empty if the processor supports
"*"
and the root elements have no annotations. AProcessor
must gracefully handle an empty set of annotations.
getCompletions
public Iterable<? extends Completion> getCompletions(Element element, AnnotationMirror annotation, ExecutableElement member, String userText)
Returns an empty iterable of completions.- Specified by:
-
getCompletions
in interfaceProcessor
- Parameters:
-
element
- the element being annotated -
annotation
- the (perhaps partial) annotation being applied to the element -
member
- the annotation member to return possible completions for -
userText
- source code text to be completed - Returns:
- suggested completions to the annotation
isInitialized
protected boolean isInitialized()
- Returns:
-
true
if this object has been initialized,false
otherwise.
