Interface ModuleEntry

All Superinterfaces:

PoolEntry

public sealed interface ModuleEntry
extends PoolEntry

Models a CONSTANT_Module_info structure, denoting a module, in the constant pool of a class file.

The use of a ModuleEntry is modeled by a ModuleDesc. Conversions are through ConstantPoolBuilder.moduleEntry(ModuleDesc) and asSymbol().

A module entry is composite:

ModuleEntry(Utf8Entry name)

where name is a module name.

See Java Virtual Machine Specification:

4.4.11 The CONSTANT_Module_info Structure
