§1.1 Team classes
A class declared with the modifier team
is a team class (or team for short).
1 | public team class MyTeamA { |
2 | ... |
3 | } |
Teams are meant as containers for roles, which are defined in the following paragraphs.
1 | public team class MyTeamA { |
2 | public class MyRole |
3 | ... |
4 | } |
5 | } |
Teams introduce a new variant of inheritance for contained role classes (see §1.3.1 below). Other properties of teams, which are defined in later sections, are:
- Team activation (§5)
- Abstractness and instantiation (§2.5)
- Declared lifting in team methods (§2.3.2)
- Reflective functions defined in
org.objectteams.ITeam
(§6.1)
Apart from these differences, team classes are regular Java classes with methods and fields, whose instances are regular Java objects.
