      The class reference atom name for the ID.

    • getClassReference

      default ClassReference getClassReference(String id, boolean doCreateIfNotPresent)
      Gets or creates the ClassReference in the property container.
      Specified by:
      getClassReference in interface IClassReferenceOwner
      Parameters:
      id - ID for the class reference if several exist, null for default.
      doCreateIfNotPresent - Flag to create the property (this flag can only be true in Designer)!
      Returns:
      The resolved class reference instance, null if the ClassReference doesn't exist if the create flag is false. If flag is true, an orphan unresolved EditorClassReference instance (ONLY for the Designer).

      Parameters:
      id - ID for the class reference if several exist, null for default.
      Returns:
      true, always: the annotation is required to have a back-reference on the "ref" member value pair to the ClassReference owner.

    • getClassReferenceImplementsInterface

      Parameters:
      id - ID for the class reference if several exist, null for default.
      Returns:
