Method Detail

getCulprit

public Container getCulprit()

Returns the culprit element. This is not necessarily the element in whose error list this exception lives; it is the element most directly responsible for the error in some potentially larger context. For example, if a variable tries to be a public and a private member of a class, the variable is the culprit, but the exception will appear in the class's error list.
