Method Details
-
values
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.- Returns:
- an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared
-
valueOf
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified nameNullPointerException
- if the argument is null
-
latest
Returns the latest source version that can be modeled.- Returns:
- the latest source version that can be modeled
-
latestSupported
Returns the latest source version fully supported by the current execution environment.RELEASE_9
or later must be returned.- API Note:
- This method is included alongside
latest()
to allow identification of situations where the language model API is running on a platform version different than the latest version modeled by the API. One way that sort of situation can occur is if an IDE or similar tool is using the API to model source version N while running on platform version (N - 1). Running in this configuration is supported by the API. Running an API on platform versions earlier than (N - 1) or later than N may or may not work as an implementation detail. If an annotation processor was generating code to run under the current execution environment, the processor should only use platform features up to thelatestSupported
release, which may be earlier than thelatest
release. - Returns:
- the latest source version fully supported by the current execution environment
-
isIdentifier
Returns whether or notname
is a syntactically valid identifier (simple name) or keyword in the latest source version. The method returnstrue
if the name consists of an initial character for whichCharacter.isJavaIdentifierStart(int)
returnstrue
, followed only by characters for whichCharacter.isJavaIdentifierPart(int)
returnstrue
. This pattern matches regular identifiers, keywords, contextual keywords, and the literals"true"
,"false"
,"null"
. The method returnsfalse
for all other strings.- Parameters:
name
- the string to check- Returns:
true
if this string is a syntactically valid identifier or keyword,false
otherwise.- See Java Language Specification:
-
3.8 Identifiers
-
isName
Returns whether or notname
is a syntactically valid qualified name in the latest source version. Syntactically, a qualified name is a sequence of identifiers separated by period characters (".
"). This method splits the input string into period-separated segments and applies checks to each segment in turn. UnlikeisIdentifier
, this method returnsfalse
for keywords, boolean literals, and the null literal in any segment. This method returnstrue
for contextual keywords.- Parameters:
name
- the string to check- Returns:
true
if this string is a syntactically valid name,false
otherwise.- See Java Language Specification:
-
3.9 Keywords
6.2 Names and Identifiers
-
isName
Returns whether or notname
is a syntactically valid qualified name in the given source version. Syntactically, a qualified name is a sequence of identifiers separated by period characters (".
"). This method splits the input string into period-separated segments and applies checks to each segment in turn. UnlikeisIdentifier
, this method returnsfalse
for keywords, boolean literals, and the null literal in any segment. This method returnstrue
for contextual keywords.- Parameters:
name
- the string to checkversion
- the version to use- Returns:
true
if this string is a syntactically valid name,false
otherwise.- See Java Language Specification:
-
3.9 Keywords
6.2 Names and Identifiers - Since:

isKeyword
Returns whether or nots
is a keyword, boolean literal, or null literal in the latest source version. This method returnsfalse
for contextual keywords.- Parameters:
s
- the string to check- Returns:
true

otherwise.- See Java Language Specification:

isKeyword
Returns whether or nots
is a keyword, boolean literal, or null literal in the given source version. This method returnsfalse
for contextual keywords.- Parameters:
s
- the string to checkversion
- the version to use- Returns:
true
ifs
is a keyword, or boolean literal, or null literal,false
otherwise.- See Java Language Specification:

valueOf
Returns the latest source version that is usable under the runtime version argument. If the runtime version's feature is greater than the feature of the runtime version of the latest source version, anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown.Because the source versions of the Java programming language have so far followed a linear progression, only the feature component of a runtime version is queried to determine the mapping to a source version. If that linearity changes in the future, other components of the runtime version may influence the result.
- API Note:
- An expression to convert from a string value, for example
"17"
, to the corresponding source version,RELEASE_17
, is:SourceVersion.valueOf(Runtime.Version.parse("17"))
- Parameters:
rv
- runtime version to map to a source version- Returns:
- the latest source version that is usable under the runtime version argument
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the feature of version argument is greater than the feature of the platform version.- Since:
- 18
-
runtimeVersion
Returns the least runtime version that supports this source version; otherwisenull
. The returned runtime version has a feature large enough to support this source version and has no other elements set. Source versions greater than or equal toRELEASE_6
have non-null
results.- Returns:
- the least runtime version that supports this source
version; otherwise
null

- 18
