Method Detail

dependentsback to summary
public Dependents[] dependents()

Specifies the set of grammar rules related to rule which the annotated element depends on. Even when absent from this set, the annotated element is implicitly dependent upon the explicitly specified rule, which corresponds to the Dependents#SELF element.

By default, the annotated element is dependent upon the specified rule and its Dependents#PARENTS, i.e. the rule within one level of context information. The parents are included since the most frequent assumption about a rule is where it's used in the grammar.
