How to get (or set) what a class extends? [message #1265713]

Hi,

I'd like my refactoring application to get what a class extends. I've succeeded to get the proper ICompilationUnit and I can list all the methods. Now I'd like to see if the class extends something. I can't find a getter for that so how can this be done?

I also would like to refactor the class so it extends with a specific class. How can I do this?

Best Regards,
Christer

Refactor from:
public class OriginTestClass extends BeforeChange {
.
.
.
}

To:
public class OriginTestClass extends TestAfterChange, BeforeChange {
.
.
.
}

Is it possible for you to get the type of the class and get it's superclass.

- A class cannot extend more than one class in Java. So, your expected result is not valid.

- To get the hierarchy of a type, first get that Type using ICompilationUnit#getAllTypes().
Then use the APIs IType#getSuperclass* and IType#getSuperInterface*s.
