Class FullIdent

java.lang.Object
  com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.FullIdent

public final class FullIdent

extends java.lang.Object

Represents a full identifier, including dots, with associated position information.

Identifiers such as java.util.HashMap are spread across multiple AST nodes in the syntax tree (three IDENT nodes, two DOT nodes). A FullIdent represents the whole String (excluding any intermediate whitespace), which is often easier to work with in Checks.
