Method Detail

canRecompute

boolean canRecompute()

Return true if analysis results produced by this analysis engine can be recomputed. Unless some correctness criterion prevents analysis results from being recomputed, analysis engines should return true (allowing the cache to be kept to a manageable size).

Returns:

true if analysis results produced by this engine can be recomputed, false if for some reason the analysis results must be retained indefinitely
