## com.google.gwt.core.ext.linker
Class Artifact<C extends Artifact<C>>

    java.lang.Object
      com.google.gwt.core.ext.linker.Artifact<C>

Type Parameters:
  `C` - The type of Artifact interface that the Artifact can be compared to.

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Artifact<?>>

Direct Known Subclasses:
  CompilationResult, EmittedArtifact, ScriptReference, StylesheetReference

    public abstract class Artifact<C extends Artifact<C>>

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Artifact<?>>, java.io.Serializable

A base type for all artifacts relating to the link process. In order to ensure stable output between runs of the compiler, Artifact types must implement a stable comparison between instances of a relevant base type (the exact comparison order is irrelevant).

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `Artifact(java.lang.Class<? extends Linker> linker)` Constructor.

Method Summary
`int` | `compareTo(Artifact<?> o)`
`protected abstract int` | `compareToComparableArtifact(C o)` Performs comparison with an artifact of a compatible base type.
`boolean` | `equals(java.lang.Object obj)` Delegates to `compareTo(Artifact)`.
`protected abstract java.lang.Class<C>` | `getComparableArtifactType()` Returns the base type to use for comparisons between Artifacts.
`java.lang.Class<? extends Linker>` | `getLinker()` Returns the Linker that created the Artifact.
`abstract int` | `hashCode()` The class which is returned from `getComparableArtifactType()` must declare a final implementation which returns the same hash code for objects for which `compareToComparableArtifact(Artifact)` returns 0.
`java.lang.String` | `toString()`

Constructor Detail

### Artifact

    protected Artifact(java.lang.Class<? extends Linker> linker)

  Constructor.

  Parameters:
    `linker` - the type of Linker that instantiated the Artifact.

Method Detail

### compareTo

    public final int compareTo(Artifact<?> o)

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `java.lang.Comparable<Artifact<?>>`

### equals

    public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Delegates to `compareTo(Artifact)`.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`

### getLinker

    public final java.lang.Class<? extends Linker> getLinker()

  Returns the Linker that created the Artifact.

### hashCode

    public abstract int hashCode()

  The class which is returned from `getComparableArtifactType()` must declare a final implementation which returns the same hash code for objects for which `compareToComparableArtifact(Artifact)` returns 0.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`

### compareToComparableArtifact

    protected abstract int compareToComparableArtifact(C o)

  Performs comparison with an artifact of a compatible base type. Objects which compare to 0 are assumed equal, and must return the same `hashCode()`.

### getComparableArtifactType

    protected abstract java.lang.Class<C> getComparableArtifactType()

  Returns the base type to use for comparisons between Artifacts. All concrete implementations of this methods must be final.
