Class JavaFileObjects

Method Details

• forSourceString

  public static JavaFileObject forSourceString(String fullyQualifiedName, String source)

  Creates a JavaFileObject with a path corresponding to the fullyQualifiedName containing the give source. The returned object will always be read-only and have the JavaFileObject.Kind.SOURCE kind.

  Note that this method makes no attempt to verify that the name matches the contents of the source and compilation errors may result if they do not match.

• forSourceLines

  public static JavaFileObject forSourceLines(String fullyQualifiedName, String... lines)

  Behaves exactly like forSourceString(String, String), but joins lines so that multi-line source strings may omit the newline characters. For example:

  
    JavaFileObjects.forSourceLines("example.HelloWorld",
        "package example;",
        "",
        "final class HelloWorld {",
        "  void sayHello() {",
        "    System.out.println(\"hello!\");",
        "  }",
        "}");
    

• forSourceLines

  public static JavaFileObject forSourceLines(String fullyQualifiedName, Iterable<String> lines)

  An overload of #forSourceLines that takes an Iterable<String>.

• forResource

  public static JavaFileObject forResource(URL resourceUrl)

  Returns a JavaFileObject for the resource at the given URL. The returned object will always be read-only and the kind is inferred via the JavaFileObject.Kind.extension.

• forResource

  public static JavaFileObject forResource(String resourceName)

  Returns a JavaFileObject for the class path resource with the given resourceName. This method is equivalent to invoking forResource(Resources.getResource(resourceName)).
