PACKAGE_DEF

public static final int PACKAGE_DEF

The package declaration. This is optional, but if it is included, then there is only one package declaration per source file and it must be the first non-comment in the file. A package declaration may be annotated in which case the annotations comes before the rest of the declaration (and are the first children).

ARRAY_DECLARATOR

public static final int ARRAY_DECLARATOR

An array declaration.

If the array declaration represents a type, then the type of the array elements is the first child. Multidimensional arrays may be regarded as arrays of arrays. In other words, the first child of the array declaration is another array declaration.

For example:

   int[] x;
 

parses as:

 VARIABLE_DEF -> VARIABLE_DEF
  |--MODIFIERS -> MODIFIERS
  |--TYPE -> TYPE
  |   |--LITERAL_INT -> int
  |   `--ARRAY_DECLARATOR -> [
  |       `--RBRACK -> ]
  |--IDENT -> x
  `--SEMI -> ;
 

The array declaration may also represent an inline array definition. In this case, the first child will be either an expression specifying the length of the array or an array initialization block.

• TYPE
• ARRAY_INIT
• Constant Field Values

 |--MODIFIERS -> MODIFIERS
 |   `--LITERAL_PUBLIC -> public
 |--LITERAL_CLASS -> class
 |--IDENT -> Test
 |--EXTENDS_CLAUSE -> extends
