Method Details

methodDescriptorWithoutReturnType

public static String methodDescriptorWithoutReturnType(MethodNode mNode)

Return the method node's descriptor including its name and parameter types without generics.

Parameters:

mNode - the method node

Returns:

the method node's abbreviated descriptor excluding the return type

methodDescriptor

public static String methodDescriptor(MethodNode mNode)

Return the method node's descriptor which includes its return type, name and parameter types without generics.

Parameters:

mNode - the method node

Returns:

the method node's descriptor

getPropertyName

public static String getPropertyName(MethodNode mNode)

For a method node potentially representing a property, returns the name of the property.

Parameters:

mNode - a MethodNode

Returns:

the property name without the get/set/is prefix if a property or null

getCodeAsBlock

public static BlockStatement getCodeAsBlock(MethodNode node)

Gets the code for a method (or constructor) as a block. If no code is found, an empty block will be returned. If a single non-block statement is found, a block containing that statement will be returned. Otherwise the existing block statement will be returned. The original node is not modified.

Parameters:

node - the method (or constructor) node

Returns:

the found or created block statement

isGetterCandidate

public static boolean isGetterCandidate(MethodNode m)

Check if the MethodNode instance is getter candidate

Parameters:

m - the MethodNode instance

Returns:

true if the instance is getter candidate
