Interface EnclosingMethodAttribute

All Superinterfaces:

AttributePREVIEW<EnclosingMethodAttributePREVIEW>, ClassElementPREVIEW, ClassFileElementPREVIEW

public sealed interface EnclosingMethodAttribute
extends AttributePREVIEW<EnclosingMethodAttributePREVIEW>, ClassElementPREVIEW

EnclosingMethodAttribute is a preview API of the Java platform.

Programs can only use EnclosingMethodAttribute when preview features are enabled.

Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.

Models the EnclosingMethod attribute (JVMS 4.7.7), which can appear on classes, and indicates that the class is a local or anonymous class. Delivered as a ClassElement^PREVIEW when traversing the elements of a ClassModel^PREVIEW.

The attribute does not permit multiple instances in a given location. Subsequent occurrence of the attribute takes precedence during the attributed element build or transformation.

The attribute was introduced in the Java SE Platform version 5.0.
