public class ExpressionStatement
extends Statement

Expression statement AST node type.

This kind of node is used to convert an expression (Expression) into a statement (Statement) by wrapping it.

 ExpressionStatement:
    StatementExpression ;
 

Since:

2.0

public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor EXPRESSION_PROPERTY

The "expression" structural property of this node type.

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

propertyDescriptors

public static java.util.List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

Parameters:

apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants

Returns:

a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)

Since:

3.0

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression of this expression statement.

Returns:

the expression node

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets the expression of this expression statement.

Parameters:

expression - the new expression node

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
• a cycle in would be created
