Method

boolean	exists() Returns whether this Java element exists in the model.
IJavaElement	getAncestor(int ancestorType) Returns this Java element or the first ancestor of this element that has the given type.
String	getAttachedJavadoc(IProgressMonitor monitor) Returns the Javadoc as HTML source if this element has attached Javadoc, `null` otherwise. This should be used only for binary elements.

String	getHandleIdentifier() Returns a string representation of this element handle.
IJavaProject	getJavaProject() Returns the Java project this element is contained in, or `null` if this element is not contained in any Java project (for instance, the `IJavaModel` is not contained in any Java project).
IOpenable	getOpenable() Returns the first openable parent.
IJavaElement	getParent() Returns the element directly containing this element, or `null` if this element has no parent.
IPath	getPath() Returns the path to the innermost resource enclosing this element.
IJavaElement	getPrimaryElement() Returns the primary element (whose compilation unit is the primary compilation unit) this working copy element was created from, or this element if it is a descendant of a primary compilation unit or if it is not a descendant of a working copy (e.g.
IResource	getResource() Returns the innermost resource enclosing this element.
ISchedulingRule	getSchedulingRule() Returns the scheduling rule associated with this Java element.
IResource	getUnderlyingResource() Returns the smallest underlying resource that contains this element, or `null` if this element is not contained in a resource.
boolean	isReadOnly() Returns whether this Java element is read-only.
boolean	isStructureKnown() Returns whether the structure of this element is known.
