Models an attribute (JVMS 4.7) in the
class file format.
Attributes exist on certain class file structures modeled by AttributedElement, which provides basic read access to the attributes.
This sealed interface hierarchy includes attributes predefined in the JVMS
and JDK-specific nonstandard attributes. Their mappers are available in Attributes. Two special subtypes of
Attribute are CustomAttribute, which all user-defined attributes
should extend from, and UnknownAttribute, representing attributes
read from class file but are not recognized by the ClassFile.AttributeMapperOption.
Attributes are read through AttributedElement or element traversal of
a CompoundElement; they are written through ClassFileBuilder.

-
attributeName
Utf8Entry attributeName()Returns the name of the attribute. The string value of the name is equivalent to the value ofattributeMapper().name().If this attribute is read from a
classfile, this method returns theUtf8Entryindicating the attribute name in theclassfile.- Returns:
- the name of the attribute
-
attributeMapper
AttributeMapper<A> attributeMapper()Returns theAttributeMapperassociated with this attribute.- Returns:
- the
