Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Get the name of the type variable.

Returns:

The type variable name.

resolve

public TypeParameter resolve()

Look up a type variable (e.g. "T") in the defining method and/or enclosing class' type parameters, and return the type parameter with the same name (e.g. "T extends com.xyz.Cls").

Returns:

the type parameter (e.g. "T extends com.xyz.Cls", or simply "T" if the type parameter does not have any bounds).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a type parameter with the same name as the type variable could not be found in the defining method or the enclosing class.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

equalsIgnoringTypeParams

public boolean equalsIgnoringTypeParams(TypeSignature other)

Description copied from class: TypeSignature

Compare base types, ignoring generic type parameters.

Specified by:

equalsIgnoringTypeParams in class TypeSignature

Parameters:

other - the other TypeSignature to compare to.

Returns:

True if the two TypeSignature objects are equal, ignoring type parameters.

toStringWithTypeBound

public String toStringWithTypeBound()

Returns the type variable along with its type bound, if available (e.g. "X extends xyz.Cls"). You can get this in structured form by calling resolve(). Returns just the type variable if there is no type bound, or if no type bound is known (i.e. if resolve() returns null).

Returns:

The string representation.
