readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                  throws IOException,
                         ClassNotFoundException

Specified by:

readExternal in interface Externalizable

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                   throws IOException

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface Externalizable

clone

public WindowReference clone()

There is not reason to clone this object since it is stateless. So a clone() call will return the instance itself.

Specified by:

clone in interface RuleConditionElement

Specified by:

clone in class ConditionalElement

Returns:

getInnerDeclarations

public Map<String,Declaration> getInnerDeclarations()

It is not possible to declare any new variables, so always return an Empty Map

Specified by:

getInnerDeclarations in interface RuleConditionElement

Returns:

getNestedElements

public List<RuleConditionElement> getNestedElements()

It is not possible to nest elements inside an entry point, so always return an empty list.

Specified by:

getNestedElements in interface RuleConditionElement

Returns:

getOuterDeclarations

public Map<String,Declaration> getOuterDeclarations()

It is not possible to declare and export any variables, so always return an empty map

Specified by:

getOuterDeclarations in interface RuleConditionElement

Returns:

resolveDeclaration

public Declaration resolveDeclaration(String identifier)

Not possible to resolve any declaration, so always return null.

Specified by:

resolveDeclaration in interface RuleConditionElement

Returns:

getName

public String getName()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

isPatternScopeDelimiter

public boolean isPatternScopeDelimiter()

Description copied from interface: RuleConditionElement

Returns true in case this RuleConditionElement delimits a pattern visibility scope. For instance, AND CE is not a scope delimiter, while NOT CE is a scope delimiter

Specified by:

isPatternScopeDelimiter in interface RuleConditionElement

Returns:

requiresLeftActivation

public boolean requiresLeftActivation()

Specified by:

requiresLeftActivation in interface PatternSource
