Returns the qualifier of this member reference, or null if there is none.

Returns:

the qualifier name node, or null if there is none

setQualifier

public void setQualifier(Name name)

Sets or clears the qualifier of this member reference.

Parameters:

name - the qualifier name node, or null if there is none

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node already has a parent

getName

public SimpleName getName()

Returns the name of the referenced member.

Returns:

the member name node

setName

public void setName(SimpleName name)

Sets the name of the referenced member to the given name.
