Class UnknownClass

final class UnknownClass extends AbstractClass

This implementation of XClass is used for classes that can't be resolved from either source or classpath (binary classes). It's useful for XDocletImpl, especially when classes refer to classes that are going to be generated by XDocletImpl.

Constructor Detail

UnknownClass

public UnknownClass(XJavaDoc xJavaDoc, String qualifiedName)

UNKNOWN: We're setting super to java.lang.Object, but if an instance represents an unknown interface, then the superclass should be null. How do we know whether an instance represents a class or an interface? (Aslak)

whether this class can be saved ( it cannot )

Returns: false since this class can not be saved
