 @SupportedSourceVersion(RELEASE_6) public class ElementKindVisitor6<R,P> extends SimpleElementVisitor6<R,P> A visitor of program elements based on their kind with default behavior appropriate for theRELEASE_6source version. For elementsXyzthat may have more than one kind, thevisitXyzmethods in this class delegate to thevisitXyzAsKindmethod corresponding to the first argument's kind. ThevisitXyzAsKindmethods calldefaultAction, passing their arguments todefaultAction's corresponding parameters.Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their general contract. Note that annotating methods in concrete subclasses with @Overridewill help ensure that methods are overridden as intended.WARNING: The ElementVisitorinterface implemented by this class may have methods added to it or theElementKindenumused in this case may have constants added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with"visit"may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with"visit".When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the visitUnknownmethod. A new abstract element kind visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.- Since:
