## javax.lang.model.util
Class ElementKindVisitor6<R,P>

    java.lang.Object
      javax.lang.model.util.AbstractElementVisitor6<R,P>
          javax.lang.model.util.SimpleElementVisitor6<R,P>
              javax.lang.model.util.ElementKindVisitor6<R,P>

Type Parameters:
  `R` - the return type of this visitor's methods. Use `Void` for visitors that do not need to return results.
  `P` - the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use `Void` for visitors that do not need an additional parameter.

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ElementVisitor<R,P>

    @SupportedSourceVersion(value=RELEASE_6)
    public class ElementKindVisitor6<R,P>

extends SimpleElementVisitor6<R,P>

A visitor of program elements based on their kind with default behavior appropriate for the `RELEASE_6` source version. For elements `XYZ` that may have more than one kind, the `visitXYZ` methods in this class delegate to the `visitXYZKind` method corresponding to the first argument's kind. The `visitXYZKind` methods call `defaultAction`, passing their arguments to `defaultAction`'s corresponding parameters.

Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their general contract. Note that annotating methods in concrete subclasses with `@Override` will help ensure that methods are overridden as intended.

WARNING: The `ElementVisitor` interface implemented by this class may have methods added to it or the `ElementKind` `enum` used in this case may have constants added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with `"visit"` may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with `"visit"`.

When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the `visitUnknown` method. A new abstract element kind visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.

Since:
  1.6
