Interface QualifiedName

public interface QualifiedName

Basic interface for qualified names usable in the metrics framework. Qualified names identify unambiguously operations and classes across the analysed project. Language specific pmd modules should have at most one implementation of this interface, to allow safe downcasting from QualifiedName to e.g. JavaQualifiedName.
