Method Details

identifier

String identifier()

Returns the name of the type parameter.

Returns:: the name of the type parameter

classBound

Optional<Signature.RefTypeSig> classBound()

Returns the class bound of the type parameter. This may be empty if this type parameter only has interface bounds.

Returns:: the class bound of the type parameter

interfaceBounds

List<Signature.RefTypeSig> interfaceBounds()

Returns the interface bounds of the type parameter. This may be empty.

Returns:: the interface bounds of the type parameter

of

static Signature.TypeParam of(String identifier, Signature.RefTypeSig classBound, Signature.RefTypeSig... interfaceBounds)

Returns a signature for a type parameter.

Parameters:: identifier - the name of the type parameter; classBound - the class bound of the type parameter, may be null; interfaceBounds - the interface bounds of the type parameter
Returns:: a signature for a type parameter
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the name cannot be denoted

of

static Signature.TypeParam of(String identifier, Optional<Signature.RefTypeSig> classBound, Signature.RefTypeSig... interfaceBounds)

Returns a signature for a type parameter.

Parameters:: identifier - the name of the type parameter; classBound - the optional class bound of the type parameter; interfaceBounds - the interface bounds of the type parameter
Returns:: a signature for a type parameter
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the name cannot be denoted
