      Returns:
      the generated classes
    • getGeneratedFiles

      GeneratedFiles getGeneratedFiles()
      Get the GeneratedFiles used by the context.

      Used to write resource, java source, or class bytecode files.

      Returns:
      the generated files
    • getRuntimeHints

      RuntimeHints getRuntimeHints()
      Get the RuntimeHints used by the context.

      Used to record reflection, resource, serialization, and proxy hints so that the application can run as a native image.

      Returns:
      the runtime hints
    • withName

      GenerationContext withName(String name)
      Create a new GenerationContext instance using the specified name to qualify generated assets for a dedicated round of code generation.

      If the specified name is already in use, a unique sequence is added to ensure the name is unique.

      Parameters:
      name - the name to use
      Returns:
