      • values

        public static ElementKind[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (ElementKind c : ElementKind.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static ElementKind valueOf(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • isClass

        public boolean isClass()
        Returns true if this is a kind of class: either CLASS or ENUM.
        Returns:
        true if this is a kind of class

      • isInterface

        public boolean isInterface()
        Returns true if this is a kind of interface: either INTERFACE or ANNOTATION_TYPE.
        Returns:
        true if this is a kind of interface

      • isField

        public boolean isField()
        Returns true if this is a kind of field: either FIELD or ENUM_CONSTANT.
        Returns:
        true if this is a kind of field
