Features

Roaster for java source parsing and generation

Roaster allows for parsing and generation of Java sources via a type-safe and fluent API.

JavaClassSource<?> myClass = Roaster.parse(JavaClassSource.class, "public class MyClass{}");

(Optional) projects addon integration

When the projects addon is installed, several ProjectFacet implementations will be retrievable from appropriately configured projects that include java source code.

• JavaCompilerFacet - used to control the project Java compiler version.

• JavaSourceFacet - used to manipulate project Java source files.

  Project project = ...
  JavaSourceFacet facet = project.getFacet(JavaSourceFacet.class);

(Optional) resources addon integration

When the resources addon is installed, additional resources types for dealing with java types, methods and fields will be available for use via the ResourceFactory.

ResourceFactory factory = ...
JavaResource resource = (JavaResource) factory.create(new File(".../MyJavaClass.java"));

JavaResource types also expose JavaFieldResource and JavaMethodResource via JavaResource.listResources().

(Optional) ui-spi addon integration

When the ui-spi addon is installed, the InputType.JAVA_CLASS_PICKER input type hint will be registered for UIInput<JavaResource> instances.
