All Superinterfaces:
  `StatementTree, Tree`

public interface ClassTree extends StatementTree
A tree node for a class, interface, enum, record, or annotation type declaration. For example:

      modifiers class simpleName typeParameters
          extends extendsClause
          implements implementsClause
      {
          members
      }
