    • findTypeBinding

    public class Outer {
        public static class Inner {
             public static class Inner2 {}
        }
    }
      the first inner class is referenced via: "Outer.Inner" and it's inner class can be accessed via "Outer.Inner.Inner2".
      Parameters:
      name - the name of a class or interface
      Returns:
      the type binding for the class or interface with the given name declared in this package, or null if no such valid type can be found
