Method Detail

genericName

String genericName()

Returns:

The arbitrary name of this generic; defaults to ? If it is a fully qualified classname, it will be imported; if the writer has access to a TypePool, it will attempt to shorten the generic signature automatically.

genericBounds

int genericBounds()

Returns:

The bounds strategy to use. 0 = print: name == "?" ? genericTypes[0] : name 1 = print: name extends join(genericTypes, "&") 2 = print: name super genericTypes[0] 4 = can print <> in java7 compilations

extendedTypes

IsType[] extendedTypes()

Returns:

any extra types that should be added to an extends bound. This will be null or length == 0 unless you want signatures. The Y type is represented by this object's IsType declaration. Z ... types will be returned by extended types. Note that using other generic names for types is possibly valid, so we support it blindly and leave it up to the developer to ensure that their generate signatures are valid. These types will identify as isPrimitive() as they will lack a package.
