Location (archunit 0.12.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.tngtech.archunit.core.importer.Location

```
public abstract class Location
extends java.lang.Object
```
Handles various forms of location from where classes can be imported in a consistent way. Any location will be treated like an URI, thus there will not be any platform dependent file separator problems.

Examples for locations could be
- file:///home/someuser/workspace/myproject/target/classes/myproject/Foo.class
- jar:file:///home/someuser/.m2/repository/myproject/foolib.jar!/myproject/Foo.class

Method Detail

asURI

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public java.net.URI asURI()

contains
```
@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public boolean contains(java.lang.String part)
```
Parameters:

part - A part to check the respective location URI for

Returns:

true, if the respective URI contains the given part

matches
```
@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public boolean matches(java.util.regex.Pattern pattern)
```
Parameters:

pattern - A pattern to compare the respective location URI against

Returns:

true, if the respective URI matches the given pattern

isJar

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public abstract boolean isJar()

isArchive
```
@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public abstract boolean isArchive()
```
This is a generalization of isJar(). Before JDK 9, the only archives were Jar files, starting with JDK 9, we also have JRTs (the JDK modules).

Returns:

true, iff this location represents an archive, like a JAR or JRT

hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:: equals in class java.lang.Object

toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

of

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
