This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

Package javax.lang.model Description

Classes and hierarchies of packages used to model the Java programming language. The members of this package and its subpackages are for use in language modeling and language processing tasks and APIs including, but not limited to, the {@linkplain javax.annotation.processing annotation processing} framework.

This language model follows a mirror-based design; see

Gilad Bracha and David Ungar. Mirrors: Design Principles for Meta-level Facilities of Object-Oriented Programming Languages. In Proc. of the ACM Conf. on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages and Applications, October 2004.
In particular, the model makes a distinction between static language constructs, like the {@linkplain javax.lang.model.element element} representing {@code java.util.Set}, and the family of {@linkplain javax.lang.model.type types} that may be associated with an element, like the raw type {@code java.util.Set}, {@code java.util.Set}, and {@code java.util.Set}.

Unless otherwise specified, methods in this package will throw a {@code NullPointerException} if given a {@code null} argument.
