Methods Summary
public com.sun.mirror.type.ArrayType	getArrayType(com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror componentType) Returns an array type with the specified component type. param componentType the component type return an array type with the specified component type. throws IllegalArgumentException if the component type is not valid for an array
public com.sun.mirror.type.DeclaredType	getDeclaredType(com.sun.mirror.type.DeclaredType containing, com.sun.mirror.declaration.TypeDeclaration decl, com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror typeArgs) Returns the type corresponding to a type declaration and actual arguments, given a {@linkplain DeclaredType#getContainingType() containing type} of which it is a member. The parameterized type {@code Outer.Inner}, for example, may be constructed by first using {@link #getDeclaredType(TypeDeclaration, TypeMirror...)} to get the type {@code Outer}, and then invoking this method. If the containing type is a parameterized type, the number of type arguments must equal the number of the declaration's formal type parameters. If it is not parameterized or if it is null, this method is equivalent to getDeclaredType(decl, typeArgs). param containing the containing type, or null if none param decl the type declaration param typeArgs the actual type arguments return the type corresponding to the type declaration and actual type arguments, contained within the given type throws IllegalArgumentException if too many or too few type arguments are given, or if an inappropriate type argument, declaration, or containing type is provided
public com.sun.mirror.type.DeclaredType	getDeclaredType(com.sun.mirror.declaration.TypeDeclaration decl, com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror typeArgs) Returns the type corresponding to a type declaration and actual type arguments. Given the declaration for String, for example, this method may be used to get the String type. It may then be invoked a second time, with the declaration for Set, to make the parameterized type {@code Set}. The number of type arguments must either equal the number of the declaration's formal type parameters, or must be zero. If zero, and if the declaration is generic, then the declaration's raw type is returned. If a parameterized type is being returned, its declaration must not be contained within a generic outer class. The parameterized type {@code Outer.Inner}, for example, may be constructed by first using this method to get the type {@code Outer}, and then invoking {@link #getDeclaredType(DeclaredType, TypeDeclaration, TypeMirror...)}. param decl the type declaration param typeArgs the actual type arguments return the type corresponding to the type declaration and actual type arguments throws IllegalArgumentException if too many or too few type arguments are given, or if an inappropriate type argument or declaration is provided
public com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror	getErasure(com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror t) Returns the erasure of a type. param t the type to be erased return the erasure of the given type
public com.sun.mirror.type.PrimitiveType	getPrimitiveType(com.sun.mirror.type.PrimitiveType$Kind kind) Returns a primitive type. param kind the kind of primitive type to return return a primitive type
public com.sun.mirror.type.TypeVariable	getTypeVariable(com.sun.mirror.declaration.TypeParameterDeclaration tparam) Returns the type variable declared by a type parameter. param tparam the type parameter return the type variable declared by the type parameter
public com.sun.mirror.type.VoidType	getVoidType() Returns the pseudo-type representing the type of void. return the pseudo-type representing the type of void
public com.sun.mirror.type.WildcardType	getWildcardType(java.util.Collection upperBounds, java.util.Collection lowerBounds) Returns a new wildcard. Either the wildcards's upper bounds or lower bounds may be specified, or neither, but not both. param upperBounds the upper bounds of this wildcard, or an empty collection if none param lowerBounds the lower bounds of this wildcard, or an empty collection if none return a new wildcard throws IllegalArgumentException if bounds are not valid
public boolean	isAssignable(com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror t1, com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror t2) Tests whether one type is assignable to another. param t1 the first type param t2 the second type return true if and only if the first type is assignable to the second
public boolean	isSubtype(com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror t1, com.sun.mirror.type.TypeMirror t2) Tests whether one type is a subtype of the another. Any type is considered to be a subtype of itself. param t1 the first type param t2 the second type return true if and only if the first type is a subtype of the second
