Class SimpleType

  • public class SimpleType
extends AnnotatableType
    Type node for a named class type, a named interface type, or a type variable. 
     SimpleType:
    { Annotation } TypeName

    This kind of node is used to convert a name (Name) into a type (Type) by wrapping it.

    In JLS8 and later, the SimpleType may have optional annotations. If annotations are present, then the name must be a SimpleName. Annotated qualified names are represented as QualifiedType or NameQualifiedType.
    Since:
    2.0
    See Also:
    QualifiedType, NameQualifiedType
    Restriction:
    This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
