Clean way of getting fully qualified types of imethod parameters? [message #935161]

I am trying to get the fully qualified types from an imethod without poking the imports.

Is there a way to resolve "Qzzzz;" into "xxx.yyy.zzz" for Icompilationunit cu?

Do I need to use the IClassFile?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

I meant the fully qualified names of the parameters in an imethod.

int method1(String s){
}

getParameterTypes() returns "QString;"

Is there a clean way to turn "QString:" into java.lang.String?

Thanks a sorry for the confusing post

Would attaching source to an IClassFile bring the following out come:

Map the offset of the ICompilationUnit's method to the same method in the IClassFile so when I call
IClassFile.getElementAt(int) using the same offset from the CU returns the same IMethod from the IClassFile?

In the hope that this way IClassFile's IMethod.getParameterTypes() return the fully qualified names of those type

Thanks a lot!

The name must be resolved relative to the declaring class, so from the IMethod fetch the parent IType, from where you can use IType.resolveType(String).
For further inspiration you may want to take a look at the implementation of the (jdt.ui internal) method org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.util.JavaModelUtil.getResolvedTypeName(String, IType).

"The name must be resolved relative to the declaring class" I supposed it was necessary.

"so from the IMethod fetch the parent IType, from where you can use IType.resolveType(String)"

I swear I tried this but probably with the other things going on I may have messed it up.

"For further inspiration you may want to take a look at the implementation of the (jdt.ui internal) method org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.util.JavaModelUtil.getResolvedTypeName(String, IType)."

Thanks for the tip. Will look into it.

Again thanks!

It worked! The trick was to clean the output from getParameterType() which is "Qtype_name;". Once I passed type_name to resolveType, I got the info I needed

Thanks a lot!!

I found a problem. I don't know if it's known.

Say:

public Type1 returnType1(Type1 t){
....
}

I can resolve the parameter t when calling the declaring IType resolveType().

But if I call getReturnType() afterwards on the IMethod I get an Exception saying that the return type is not in the correct format (?) I am calling getDeclaringType() just once before calling the mentioned methods

Is this a known problem? I can get around this but I thought about mentioning it.
