| duke@1 | 27 | * Classes and hierarchies of packages used to model the Java |
| duke@1 | 28 | * programming language. |
| duke@1 | 29 | * |
| duke@1 | 30 | * The members of this package and its subpackages are for use in |
| duke@1 | 31 | * language modeling and language processing tasks and APIs including, |
| duke@1 | 32 | * but not limited to, the {@linkplain javax.annotation.processing |
| duke@1 | 33 | * annotation processing} framework. |
| duke@1 | 34 | * |
| duke@1 | 35 | * <p> This language model follows a <i>mirror</i>-based design; see |
| duke@1 | 36 | * |
| duke@1 | 37 | * <blockquote> |
| duke@1 | 38 | * Gilad Bracha and David Ungar. <i>Mirrors: Design Principles for |
| duke@1 | 39 | * Meta-level Facilities of Object-Oriented Programming Languages</i>. |
| duke@1 | 40 | * In Proc. of the ACM Conf. on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, |
| duke@1 | 41 | * Languages and Applications, October 2004. |
| duke@1 | 42 | * </blockquote> |
| duke@1 | 43 | * |
| duke@1 | 44 | * In particular, the model makes a distinction between static |
| duke@1 | 45 | * language constructs, like the {@linkplain javax.lang.model.element |
| duke@1 | 46 | * element} representing {@code java.util.Set}, and the family of |
| duke@1 | 47 | * {@linkplain javax.lang.model.type types} that may be associated |
| duke@1 | 48 | * with an element, like the raw type {@code java.util.Set}, {@code |
| duke@1 | 49 | * java.util.Set<String>}, and {@code java.util.Set<T>}. |
| duke@1 | 50 | * |
| duke@1 | 51 | * <p> Unless otherwise specified, methods in this package will throw |
| duke@1 | 52 | * a {@code NullPointerException} if given a {@code null} argument. |
