Enum Constant and Description
EXPLICIT_TYPES Types must be specified explicitly in the source, even when the diamond operator is available.
INFERRED_TYPES Types should be inferred where possible, as specifying them explicitly would be redundant.

Enum Constant Detail

EXPLICIT_TYPES

public static final BuilderFactory.TypeInference EXPLICIT_TYPES

Types must be specified explicitly in the source, even when the diamond operator is available.

Use this when the expression result is not immediately assigned to a variable or returned from a method.

INFERRED_TYPES

public static final BuilderFactory.TypeInference INFERRED_TYPES

Types should be inferred where possible, as specifying them explicitly would be redundant.

Use this when the expression result is immediately assigned to a variable or returned from a method. Do not use this when the expression result is passed directly into a method, as Java 6+7 cannot do type inference in this situation.

Method Detail

values

public static BuilderFactory.TypeInference[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (BuilderFactory.TypeInference c : BuilderFactory.TypeInference.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static BuilderFactory.TypeInference valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
