Enum Class MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption>
java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption>, Constable
Enclosing class:
MethodHandles.Lookup
public static enum MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption extends Enum<MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption>
The set of class options that specify whether a hidden class created by Lookup::defineHiddenClass method is dynamically added as a new member to the nest of a lookup class and/or whether a hidden class has a strong relationship with the class loader marked as its defining loader.

    • NESTMATE

      public static final MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption NESTMATE
      Specifies that a hidden class be added to nest of a lookup class as a nestmate.

      A hidden nestmate class has access to the private members of all classes and interfaces in the same nest.

    • STRONG

      public static final MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption STRONG
      Specifies that a hidden class has a strong relationship with the class loader marked as its defining loader, as a normal class or interface has with its own defining loader. This means that the hidden class may be unloaded if and only if its defining loader is not reachable and thus may be reclaimed by a garbage collector (JLS 12.7).

      By default, a hidden class or interface may be unloaded even if the class loader that is marked as its defining loader is reachable.

      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
