GenericDeclaration

  • GenericDeclaration is an interface for entities that declare type variables.

  • It provides a method, getTypeParameters(), to access declared type variables.

  • getTypeParameters() returns an array of TypeVariable objects representing the declared type variables.

  • If the declaration has no type variables, getTypeParameters() returns an empty array.

  • A GenericSignatureFormatError is thrown if the signature is invalid.
