Method Detail

init

public void init(ElementContext ctx)

This method is called by JAM to initialize this class builder. Extending classes can override this to perform additional initialization work (just remember to call super.init()!).

Parameters:

ctx -

build

public abstract MClass build(java.lang.String packageName,
                             java.lang.String className)

This is called by JAM when it attempts to load a class. If the builder has access to an artifact (typically a java source or classfile) that represents the given type, it should call createClassToBuild() to get a new instance of MClass and then return it. No caching should be performed - if an MClass is going to be returned, it should be a new instance returned by createClassToBuild()

If no artififact is available, the builder should just return null, signalling that other JamClassBuilders should attempt to build the class.

Parameters:

packageName -

className -

Returns:
