Class JavaProjectBuilder

java.lang.Object
com.thoughtworks.qdox.JavaProjectBuilder

public class JavaProjectBuilder extends Object
This is the improved version of the JavaDocBuilder of QDox 1.x, which has the following tasks:
  • Provide adders for all kind of resources, such as classloaders, java files and source directories
  • Provide setters to enable the debug-mode for the Lexer and Parser (which are used when parsing sourcefiles) and the encoding
  • Provide getter for retrieving Java Object Models from these libraries, such as JavaSources, JavaClasses and JavaPackages
  • Provide a method to search through all the parsed JavaClasses
  • Provide store and load methods for the JavaProjectBuilder
  • Provide the option to set an ErrorHandler
By default the JavaProjectBuilder will use the SortedClassLibraryBuilder, which means it doesn't matter in which order you add the resources, first all sources and sourcefolders, followed by the classloaders. Another implementation for the ClassLibraryBuilder is the OrderedClassLibraryBuilder, which preserves the order in which resources are added. By creating a new JavaProjectBuilder with your own ClassLibraryBuilder you can decide which loading strategy should be used.
Since:
2.0

      the JavaSource of the parsed file
      Throws:
      IOException - if file is a directory or can't be read
    • addSource

      public JavaSource addSource(URL url) throws IOException
      Add a java source from a URL to this JavaProjectBuilder
      Parameters:
      url - the url
      Returns:

    • addSourceFolder

      public JavaModule addSourceFolder(File sourceFolder)
      Add a sourcefolder to this javaprojectbuilder, but don't parse any file. This is a lazy parser. Only if a JavaClass is called it will be searched by matching the package with the folder structure and the classname with the filename
