Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	getVersion() Returns the real version this constant represents.
boolean	isNewerThan(EclipseLinkVersion version) Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version.
boolean	isNewerThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version) Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version or if it's the same version.
boolean	isOlderThan(EclipseLinkVersion version) Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version.
boolean	isOlderThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version) Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version or if it's the same version.
EclipseLinkVersion	toCurrentVersion() Converts the current constant to one of the known versions, this means if the constant is DEFAULT_VERSION, then it will be converted into the actual constant representing that version.

Method Detail

values

public static EclipseLinkVersion[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (EclipseLinkVersion c : EclipseLinkVersion.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static EclipseLinkVersion valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

value

public static EclipseLinkVersion value(java.lang.String value)

Retrieves the enumeration constant for the given value. If the value is not known, then DEFAULT_VERSION will be returned.

Parameters:

value - The value to retrieve its constant version

Returns:

The constant version of the given value

versions

public static EclipseLinkVersion[] versions()

Returns the list of EclipseLinkVersion excluding DEFAULT_VERSION.

Returns:

The list of unique constants

getVersion

public java.lang.String getVersion()

Returns the real version this constant represents.

Returns:

The string value of the version

isNewerThan

public boolean isNewerThan(EclipseLinkVersion version)

Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version.

Parameters:

version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is older than this one

Returns:

true if this constant represents a newer version and the given constant represents a version that is older; false if the given constant represents a newer and this constant represents an older version

isNewerThanOrEqual

public boolean isNewerThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version)

Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version or if it's the same version.

Parameters:

version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is older than this one or if it's the same than this one

Returns:

true if this constant represents a newer version and the given constant represents a version that is older or if it's the same constant; false if the given constant represents a newer and this constant represents an older version

isOlderThan

public boolean isOlderThan(EclipseLinkVersion version)

Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version.

Parameters:

version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is more recent than this one

Returns:

true if this constant represents an earlier version and the given constant represents a version that is more recent; false if the given constant represents an earlier version and this constant represents a more recent version

isOlderThanOrEqual

public boolean isOlderThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version)

Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version or if it's the same version.

Parameters:

version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is more recent than this one or if it's the same than this one

Returns:

true if this constant represents an earlier version and the given constant represents a version that is more recent or if it's the same constant; false if the given constant represents an earlier version and this constant represents a more recent version

toCurrentVersion

public EclipseLinkVersion toCurrentVersion()

Converts the current constant to one of the known versions, this means if the constant is DEFAULT_VERSION, then it will be converted into the actual constant representing that version.

Returns:

Either this same constant or the actual version constant

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Enum<EclipseLinkVersion>
