Returns the signature with qualified types, however without type parameters. For instance, for a method
addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)
it will return
(int, java.util.Collection)
For comparison, the full signature returned for that method
by signature
attribute will look like
(int, java.util.Collection<? extends E>)
This attribute is implemented by DocFlex above the Doclet API.
It is needed because the Standard Javadoc Doclet uses such "raw" signatures
in HTML hyperlink anchor names of the constructor/method documentation it generates.
For that reason, the rawSignature
attribute is used in the templates provided
with DocFlex/Javadoc (e.g. in class.tpl
) to generate the hyperlink refs and names
in the same way as the Standard Doclet so as to allow creating links to existing standard javadoc-generated
documentation from the output generated by DocFlex and vice versa
(with -link
or -linkoffline
options on Javadoc command line).
