- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public Expression getInitialExpression()

      expression used to initialize the variable or null of there is no initialization.

    - #### public int getModifiers()

    - #### public String getName()

      the name of the variable

    - #### public ClassNode getOriginType()

      the type before wrapping primitives type of the variable

    - #### public ClassNode getType()

      the type of the variable

    - #### public boolean hasInitialExpression()

      returns true if there is an initialization expression

    - #### public boolean isClosureSharedVariable()

    - #### public boolean isDynamicTyped()

    - #### public boolean isInStaticContext()

      returns true if this variable is used in a static context. A static context is any static initializer block, when this variable is declared as static or when this variable is used in a static method

    - #### public void setClosureSharedVariable(boolean inClosure)
