Describes the instances of classes of a package unit.


Enum Constant Summary
DYNAMIC
          The type of models that are not generated at all but rather dynamically contructed at runtime.
LEGACY
          The type of models that are not generated specifically for the usage with CDO.
NATIVE
          The type of models that are generated specifically for the usage with CDO.
UNKNOWN
          Used to indicate that the type of a model could not be determined.

Enum Constant Detail

NATIVE

public static final CDOPackageUnit.Type NATIVE
The type of models that are generated specifically for the usage with CDO. Instances of classes of these models can be directly cast to InternalCDOObject.


LEGACY

public static final CDOPackageUnit.Type LEGACY
The type of models that are not generated specifically for the usage with CDO. Instances of classes of these models can not be directly cast to InternalCDOObject.


DYNAMIC

public static final CDOPackageUnit.Type DYNAMIC
The type of models that are not generated at all but rather dynamically contructed at runtime. Instances of classes of these models can be directly cast to InternalCDOObject, i.e. they're implicitely native.


UNKNOWN

public static final CDOPackageUnit.Type UNKNOWN
Used to indicate that the type of a model could not be determined. Refer to the package type registry on how to deal with this scenario.

Method Detail

values

public static CDOPackageUnit.Type[] 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 (CDOPackageUnit.Type c : CDOPackageUnit.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CDOPackageUnit.Type 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

isGenerated

public boolean isGenerated()
Returns true if this type is either NATIVE or LEGACY, false otherwise.


checkNotUnknown

public void checkNotUnknown()
                     throws IllegalStateException
Throws:
IllegalStateException - if this type is UNKNOWN.
