ClassType

public interface ClassType implements DeclaredType

Represents a class type. Interface types are represented separately by {@link InterfaceType}. Note that an {@linkplain EnumType enum} is a kind of class.

While a {@link ClassDeclaration} represents the declaration of a class, a ClassType represents a class type. See {@link TypeDeclaration} for more on this distinction.
