MetaClass (Jace Core Java 1.2.13 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayMetaClass, BooleanClass, ByteClass, CharClass, ClassMetaClass, DoubleClass, FloatClass, IntClass, LongClass, PrimitiveMetaClass, ShortClass, VoidClass
```
public interface MetaClass
```
Represents meta-data about a class. For classes that belong to the 'java' or 'javax' package tree, this class automatically adds 'jace' prefixes to the identifiers. This helps prevent any sort of naming clashes caused by using other tools that work with standard java class libraries.

- Method Detail
  - getSimpleName
```
String getSimpleName()
```
    Returns the name of the class that this MetaClass represents. This is the simple name of the class, unadorned by any package prefixes. For example: String
    
    Returns:
    the name of the class that this MetaClass represents
  - getFullyQualifiedName
```
String getFullyQualifiedName(String separator)
```
    Returns the fully-qualified name of the class. This name includes both the package-prefix and the class name. For example: java.lang.String
    
    Parameters:
    separator - The string used to separate the packages and the class name.
    
    Returns:
    the fully-qualified name of the class.
  - getPackage
```
ClassPackage getPackage()
```
    Returns the ClassPackage for this MetaClass.
    
    Returns:
    the ClassPackage for this MetaClass
  - beginGuard
```
String beginGuard()
```
    Returns a string which begins an include guard. For example: #ifndef JACE_JAVA_LANG_STRING_H #define JACE_JAVA_LANG_STRING_H
    
    Returns:
    a string which begins an include guard
  - endGuard
```
String endGuard()
```
    Returns a String which ends an include guard. For example: #endif // #ifndef JACE_JAVA_LANG_STRING_H
    
    Returns:
    a String which ends an include guard
  - include
```
String include()
```
    Returns a String which generates an include of the header file for this class. For example: #include "jace/java/lang/String.h"
    
    Returns:
    a String which generates an include of the header file for this class
  - using
```
String using()
```
    Returns a String which is a using declaration for this class. For example, "using jace::java::lang::String;".
    
    Returns:
    a String which is a using declaration for this class
  - forwardDeclare
```
String forwardDeclare()
```
    Returns a String which is a forward declaration for this class. For example: BEGIN_NAMESPACE_3(jace, java, lang) class String; END_NAMESPACE_3(jace, java, lang)
    
    Returns:
    a String which is a forward declaration for this class
  - proxy
```
MetaClass proxy()
```
    Return a version of this MetaClass with a pre-pended JaceConstants.getProxyPackage() package.
    
    Returns:
    a version of this MetaClass with a pre-pended JaceConstants.getProxyPackage() package
  - unProxy
```
MetaClass unProxy()
```
    Return a version of this MetaClass without a pre-pended JaceConstants.getProxyPackage() package.
    
    Returns:
    a version of this MetaClass without a pre-pended JaceConstants.getProxyPackage() package
  - getJniType
```
String getJniType()
```
    Returns the JNI type for this MetaClass. For example, jstring for java.lang.String or jbooleanArray for boolean[].
    
    Returns:
    the JNI type for this MetaClass
  - isPrimitive
```
boolean isPrimitive()
```
    Indicates if the underlying class is a primitive.
    
    Returns:
    true if the underlying class is a primitive
