- Type Parameters:
- R- the return type of this visitor's methods. Use- Voidfor visitors that do not need to return results.
- P- the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use- Voidfor visitors that do not need an additional parameter.
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- ElementVisitor<R,- P> 
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- ElementKindVisitor6,- SimpleElementVisitor7
RELEASE_6
 source version.
 Visit methods corresponding to RELEASE_6 language
 constructs call defaultAction, passing their
 arguments to defaultAction's corresponding parameters.
 For constructs introduced in RELEASE_7 and later, 
 visitUnknown is called instead.- API Note:
- Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their general
 contract.
 WARNING: The ElementVisitorinterface implemented by this class may have methods 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 and subclasses 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 directly or indirectly call the visitUnknownmethod. A new simple element 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 a new visitor is introduced, portions of this visitor class may be deprecated, including its constructors.

Method Details- 
defaultActionThe default action for visit methods.- Implementation Requirements:
- The implementation in this class just returns DEFAULT_VALUE; subclasses will commonly override this method.
- Parameters:
- e- the element to process
- p- a visitor-specified parameter
- Returns:
- DEFAULT_VALUEunless overridden
 
- 
visitPackageVisits a package element.- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation calls defaultAction.
- Parameters:
- e- the element to visit
- p- a visitor-specified parameter
- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
 
- 
visitTypeVisits a type element.- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation calls defaultAction.
- Parameters:
- e- the element to visit
- p- a visitor-specified parameter
- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
 
- 
visitVariableVisits a variable element.- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation calls defaultAction, unless the element is aRESOURCE_VARIABLEin which casevisitUnknownis called.
- Parameters:
- e- the element to visit
- p- a visitor-specified parameter
- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
 
- 
visitExecutableVisits an executable element.- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation calls defaultAction.
- Parameters:
- e- the element to visit
- p- a visitor-specified parameter
- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
 
- 
visitTypeParameterVisits a type parameter element.- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation calls defaultAction.
- Parameters:
- e- the element to visit
- p- a visitor-specified parameter
- Returns:
- a visitor-specified result
