Constructors Summary
public Modifiers()
Default constructor.
Methods Summary
public intcompareTo(java.lang.Object o)
Compare two Modifiers objects by their contents.

        Modifiers oModifiers = (Modifiers)o;
        if (isStatic != oModifiers.isStatic)
            return -1;
        if (isFinal != oModifiers.isFinal)
            return -1;
        if (isDeprecated != oModifiers.isDeprecated)
            return -1;
        if (visibility != null) {
            int comp = visibility.compareTo(oModifiers.visibility);
            if (comp != 0)
                return comp;
        }
        return 0;
public java.lang.Stringdiff(jdiff.Modifiers newModifiers)
Generate a String describing the differences between the current (old) Modifiers object and a new Modifiers object. The string has no leading space, but does end in a period.

param
newModifiers The new Modifiers object.
return
The description of the differences, null if there is no change.
