Name getQualifiedName()

Returns the fully qualified name of this module. For an unnamed module, an empty name is returned.

Specified by:: getQualifiedName in interface QualifiedNameable
API Note:: If the module name consists of one identifier, then this method returns that identifier, which is deemed to be module's fully qualified name despite not being in qualified form. If the module name consists of more than one identifier, then this method returns the entire name.
Returns:: the fully qualified name of this module, or an empty name if this is an unnamed module

Name getSimpleName()

Returns the simple name of this module. For an unnamed module, an empty name is returned.

Specified by:: getSimpleName in interface Element
API Note:: If the module name consists of one identifier, then this method returns that identifier. If the module name consists of more than one identifier, then this method returns the rightmost such identifier, which is deemed to be the module's simple name.
Returns:: the simple name of this module or an empty name if this is an unnamed module

List<? extends Element> getEnclosedElements()

Returns the packages within this module.

Specified by:: getEnclosedElements in interface Element
Returns:: the packages within this module

boolean isOpen()

Returns true if this is an open module and false otherwise.

boolean isUnnamed()

Returns true if this is an unnamed module and false otherwise.

Element getEnclosingElement()

Returns null since a module is not enclosed by another element.

List<? extends ModuleElement.Directive> getDirectives()

Returns the directives contained in the declaration of this module.
