Helper class used for resolving type parameters for given class
|
| TypeFactory |
Class used for creating concrete
JavaType instances,
given various inputs. |
| TypeModifier |
Class that defines API that can be used to modify details of
JavaType instances constructed using TypeFactory. |
| TypeParser |
Simple recursive-descent parser for parsing canonical
JavaType
representations and constructing type instances. |
