  - ### Uses of VariableElement in javax.lang.model.util

    Methods in javax.lang.model.util that return types with arguments of type VariableElement
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `static List<VariableElement>` | ElementFilter.`fieldsIn(Iterable<? extends Element> elements)` Returns a list of fields in `elements`.

    Methods in javax.lang.model.util with parameters of type VariableElement
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `R` | SimpleAnnotationValueVisitor6.`visitEnumConstant(VariableElement c, P p)` Visits an `enum` value in an annotation.
    `R` | ElementScanner6.`visitVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a variable element.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a variable element, dispatching to the visit method for the specific kind of variable, `ENUM_CONSTANT`, `EXCEPTION_PARAMETER`, `FIELD`, `LOCAL_VARIABLE`, `PARAMETER`, or `RESOURCE_VARIABLE`.
    `R` | ElementScanner7.`visitVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` This implementation scans the enclosed elements.
    `R` | SimpleElementVisitor7.`visitVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` This implementation calls `defaultAction`.
    `R` | SimpleElementVisitor6.`visitVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a variable element.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariableAsEnumConstant(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits an `ENUM_CONSTANT` variable element by calling `defaultAction`.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariableAsExceptionParameter(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits an `EXCEPTION_PARAMETER` variable element by calling `defaultAction`.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariableAsField(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a `FIELD` variable element by calling `defaultAction`.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariableAsLocalVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a `LOCAL_VARIABLE` variable element by calling `defaultAction`.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariableAsParameter(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a `PARAMETER` variable element by calling `defaultAction`.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor6.`visitVariableAsResourceVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a `RESOURCE_VARIABLE` variable element by calling `visitUnknown`.
    `R` | ElementKindVisitor7.`visitVariableAsResourceVariable(VariableElement e, P p)` Visits a `RESOURCE_VARIABLE` variable element by calling `defaultAction`.
