Field Details

ARRAY

static final TypeAnnotation.TypePathComponent ARRAY

static instance for annotation is deeper in an array type

INNER_TYPE

Method Details

typePathKind

TypeAnnotation.TypePathComponent.Kind typePathKind()

The type path kind items from JVMS Table 4.7.20.2-A.

Returns:: the kind of path element

typeArgumentIndex

int typeArgumentIndex()

JVMS: type_argument_index If the value of the type_path_kind item is 0, 1, or 2, then the value of the type_argument_index item is 0.
