GenericArrayType represents an array type whose component
type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
Public Methods

Type
getGenericComponentType
()
Returns a Type object representing the component type
of this array. This method creates the component type of the
array. See the declaration of ParameterizedType for the
semantics of the creation process for parameterized types and
see TypeVariable for the
creation process for type variables.
Returns
- a
Type object representing the component type
of this array
