Creating a static nested class using Roaster API

[neil.stevens]

Hi,

I'm using Roaster API to generate some Java source files.  I would like my Java source files to contain a nested static class like:

class A {

     static class B {}

}

But I can't figure out how to get Roaster to generate this.  I can do the following to generate a non-static nested class:

JavaClassSource aClass = Roaster.create(JavaClassSource.class);

aClass.setName("A");

JavaClassSource bClass = Roaster.create(JavaClassSource.class);

bClass.setName("B");

aClass.addNestedType(b);

When adding a method to a class I can chain ".setStatic(true)" onto the addMethod method like:

aClass.addMethod()

aClass.addMethod().setStatic(true)..........

But I can't chain "setStatic(true)" this with a nested class.  Does any any one know how to do this or if it is possible with Roaster API?

Hi Neil,

Yeah, this was missing in the API. I opened a JIRA in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ROASTER-68 to fix this.

The fix is already in the master branch. Could you give it a try with the latest SNAPSHOT and let me know how it goes?

Best Regards,

Thanks so much George.  I can confirm that setStatic works on nexted classes on 2.13.2-SNAPSHOT

Fantastic!

I just released Roaster 2.13.2.Final. Should be in Maven central in a few hours.

Enjoy!
