Change Log
==========
JavaPoet 1.11.1 *(2018-05-16)*
-----------------------------
* Fix: JavaPoet 1.11 had a regression where `TypeName.get()` would throw on error types, masking
other errors in an annotation processing round. This is fixed with a test to prevent future
regressions!
JavaPoet 1.11.0 *(2018-04-29)*
-----------------------------
* New: Support `TYPE_USE` annotations on each enclosing `ClassName`.
* New: Work around a compiler bug in `TypeName.get(TypeElement)`. There was a problem getting an
element's kind when building from source ABIs.
JavaPoet 1.10.0 *(2018-01-27)*
-----------------------------
* **JavaPoet now requires Java 8 or newer.**
* New: `$Z` as an optional newline (zero-width space) if a line may exceed 100 chars.
* New: `CodeBlock.join()` and `CodeBlock.joining()` let you join codeblocks by delimiters.
* New: Add `CodeBlock.Builder.isEmpty()`.
* New: `addStatement(CodeBlock)` overloads for `CodeBlock` and `MethodSpec`.
* Fix: Include annotations when emitting type variables.
* Fix: Use the right imports for annotated type parameters.
* Fix: Don't incorrectly escape classnames that start with `$`.
JavaPoet 1.9.0 *(2017-05-13)*
-----------------------------
* Fix: Don't emit incorrect code when the declared type's signature references another type with
the same simple name.
* Fix: Support anonymous inner classes in `ClassName.get()`.
* New: `MethodSpec.Builder.addNamedCode()` and `TypeSpec.anonymousClassBuilder(CodeBlock)`.
JavaPoet 1.8.0 *(2016-11-09)*
-----------------------------
* New: Basic support for line wrapping. Use `$W` to insert a Wrappable Whitespace character. It'll
emit either a single space or a newline with appropriate indentation.
* New: Named arguments in `CodeBlock`. These are intended to make larger code snippets easier to
read:
```
Map<String, Object> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
map.put("count", 3);
map.put("greeting", "Hello, ");
map.put("system", System.class);
String template = ""
+ "for (int i = 0; i < $count:L; i++) {\n"
+ " $system:T.out.println($greeting:S + list.get(i));\n"
+ "}\n";
CodeBlock.Builder builder = CodeBlock.builder();
builder.addNamed(template, map);
```
* New: `addJavadoc(CodeBlock)` overloads for TypeSpec, MethodSpec, and FieldSpec.
* New: `MethodSpec.addComment()` makes it easy to add a `// single-line comment.`
* New: `ClassName.getReflectionName()` returns a string like `java.util.Map$Entry`.
* Fix: Always write UTF-8. Previously JavaPoet would use the system default charset which was
potentially inconsistent across environments.
* Fix: Permit (constant) fields to be defined in annotation types.
JavaPoet 1.7.0 *(2016-04-26)*
-----------------------------
* New: Support parameterized types that enclose other types, like `Outer<String>.Inner`.
* New: `TypeName.isBoxedPrimitive()`.
JavaPoet 1.6.1 *(2016-03-21)*
-----------------------------
* Fix: Double quotes and backslashes in string literals were not properly quoted in 1.6.0. This is
now fixed.
JavaPoet 1.6.0 *(2016-03-19)*
-----------------------------
* New: Revive `CodeBlock.of()`, a handy factory method for building code blocks.
* New: Add `TypeSpec` factory methods that take a `ClassName`.
* New: `TypeName.annotated()` adds an annotation to a type.
* New: `TypeVariableName.withBounds()` adds bounds to a type variable.
* New: `TypeSpec.Builder.addInitializerBlock()` adds an instance initializer.
* Fix: Make `TypeSpec.Kind` enum public. This can be used to check if a `TypeSpec` is a class,
interface, enum, or annotation.
* Fix: Don’t break import resolution on annotated types.
* Fix: Forbid unexpected modifiers like `private` on annotation members.
* Fix: Deduplicate exceptions in `MethodSpec.Builder`.
* Fix: Treat `ErrorType` like a regular `DeclaredType` in `TypeName.get()`. This should make it
easier to write annotation processors.
JavaPoet 1.5.1 *(2016-01-10)*
-----------------------------
* Fix: Annotated `TypeName` instances are only equal if their annotations are equal.
JavaPoet 1.5.0 *(2016-01-10)*
-----------------------------
* New: `import static`! See `JavaFile.Builder.addStaticImport()` variants.
* New: Overload `NameAllocator.newName(String)` for creating a one-off name without a tag.
* Fix: AnnotationSpec escapes character literals properly.
* Fix: Don't stack overflow when `TypeVariableName` is part of `ParameterizedTypeName`.
* Fix: Reporting not used indexed arguments in like `add("$1S", "a", "b")`.
* Fix: Prevent import of types located in the default package, i.e. have no package name.
JavaPoet 1.4.0 *(2015-11-13)*
-----------------------------
* New: `AnnotationSpec.get(Annotation)`.
* New: Type annotations! `TypeName.annotated()` can attach annotations like `@Nullable` directly to
types. This works for both top-level types and type parameters as in `List<@Nullable String>`.
* New: `equals()` and `hashCode()` on `AnnotationSpec`, `CodeBlock`, `FieldSpec`, `JavaFile`,
`MethodSpec`, `ParameterSpec`, `TypeName`, and `TypeSpec`.
* New: `NameAllocator.clone()` to refine a NameAllocator for use in an inner scope code block.
* Fix: Don't stack overflow when `TypeVariableName` gets a self-referential type.
* Fix: Better handling of name collisions on imports. Previously JavaPoet did the wrong thing when
a referenced type and a nested types had the same name.
JavaPoet 1.3.0 *(2015-09-20)*
-----------------------------
* New: `NameAllocator` API makes it easy to declare non-conflicting names.
* New: Support annotations on enum values.
* Fix: Avoid infinite recursion in `TypeName.get(TypeMirror)`.
* Fix: Use qualified name for conflicting simple names in the same file.
* Fix: Better messages for parameter indexing errors.
JavaPoet 1.2.0 *(2015-07-04)*
-----------------------------
* New: Arguments may have positional indexes like `$1T` and `$2N`. Indexes can be used to refer to
the same argument multiple times in a single format string.
* New: Permit Javadoc on enum constants.
* New: Class initializer blocks with `addStaticBlock()`.
* Fix: `MethodSpec.overriding()` retains annotations.
JavaPoet 1.1.0 *(2015-05-25)*
-----------------------------
* New: Eager validation of argument types like `$T` and `$N`.
* New: `MethodSpec.varargs(boolean)` to generate varags methods.
* New: `AnnotationSpec.get()` and `MethodSpec.overriding()` to create annotations and methods from
the `javax.lang.model` API.
* New: `JavaFile.toJavaFileObject()`.
* New: Java 8 `DEFAULT` modifier.
* New: `toBuilder()` methods to build upon objects already constructed.
* New: Generate `@interface` annotation types.
* New: `TypeName.box()` and `TypeName.unbox()` convenience APIs.
* Fix: `nextControlFlow()` accepts arguments.
* Fix: Reject duplicate calls to set the superclass.
* Fix: `WildcardTypeName.get(WildcardType)` no longer throws a `NullPointerException`.
* Fix: Don't allow double field initialization.
JavaPoet 1.0.0 *(2015-01-28)*
-----------------------------
* This update is a complete rewrite. The project name is now `javapoet`. We renamed the it so you
can simultaneously use the old JavaWriter API and our new builder-based APIs in one project.
* Immutable value objects and builders. Instead of streaming the `.java` file from top to bottom,
you now define members in whatever way is convenient.
* We now use our own models for type names.
* Imports are now added automatically.
JavaWriter 2.5.1 *(2014-12-03)*
-------------------------------
* New: `StringLiteral` type which encapsulates the behavior of `stringLiteral`.
* Fix: Use canonical name when emitting a class import.
* Fix: Apply type compression to varargs and array types.
* Fix: Restore binary compatibility with pre-2.5 versions.
JavaWriter 2.5.0 *(2014-04-18)*
-------------------------------
* New: Methods in interfaces will always have no body declaration.
* New: Control flow begin declaration now supports String format arguments.

-------------------------------
* Fix: Properly handle subpackages of `java.lang` in `compressType`.
JavaWriter 2.3.0 *(2013-11-24)*
-------------------------------

* `emitImports` now supports `Class` arguments directly.
* Previously-deprecated, `int`-based modifier methods have been removed.
JavaWriter 2.2.1 *(2013-10-23)*
-------------------------------
* Fix: Do not emit trailing whitespace for empty Javadoc lines.
JavaWriter 2.2.0 *(2013-09-25)*
-------------------------------
* `setCompressingTypes` controls whether types are emitted as fully-qualified or not.
JavaWriter 2.1.2 *(2013-08-23)*
-------------------------------

-------------------------------
* New: All methods now take a `Set` of `Modifier`s rather than an `int`. The `int` methods are
now deprecated for removal in JavaPoet 1.0.
