Interface TypeDefVariable

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

BoundedTypeDefVariable, NamedTypeDefVariable

public interface TypeDefVariable
extends Serializable

This interface represents type definition variables. These can be of one of two types (each of them represented by one of this interface's implementing classes):

• Named (NamedTypeDefVariable): E
• Bounded (BoundedTypeDefVariable): E extends T

Some examples:

• app.pack.ClassOne contains no TypeDefVariables.
• app.pack.ClassThree<E, T> contains two TypeDefVariables:
  • E (named)
  • T (named)
• app.pack.ClassEight<E, T, X extends E & java.util.Collection<? extends T>> contains three TypeDefVariables:
  • E (named)
  • T (named)
  • X extends E & java.util.Collection<? extends T> (bounded)

As can be seen above, every type definition variable has, at least, a name: E ,T and X in the above examples. Also, it can be noted that bounded variables can create relations among variables, like in X extends E.
