Field Detail

NONE

public static final SVNNodeKind NONE

This node kind is used to say that a node is missing

FILE

public static final SVNNodeKind FILE

Defines the file node kind

DIR

public static final SVNNodeKind DIR

Defines the directory node kind

UNKNOWN

public static final SVNNodeKind UNKNOWN

This node kind is used to say that the kind of a node is actually unknown

Method Detail

parseKind

public static SVNNodeKind parseKind(java.lang.String kind)

Parses the passed string and finds out the node kind. For instance, parseKind("dir") will return DIR.

Parameters:

kind - a node kind as a string

Returns:

an SVNNodeKind representation

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Represents the current SVNNodeKind object as a string.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of this object.

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

Compares this object with another one. Each SVNNodeKind constant has got its own unique id.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Parameters:

o - an object to compare with

Returns:

• -1 - if o is either null, or is not an instance of SVNNodeKind, or the id of this object is smaller than the id of o;
• 1 - if the id of this object is bigger than the id of o;
• 0 - if and only if o is the same constant value as this one (has the same id)
