package sun.tools.java;

import java.util.Hashtable;

This class represents an Java Type.

It encapsulates an Java type signature and it provides quick access to the components of the type. Note that all types are hashed into a hashtable (typeHash), that means that each distinct type is only allocated once, saving space and making equality checks cheap.

For simple types use the constants defined in this class. (Type.tInt, Type.tShort, ...). To create complex types use the static methods Type.tArray, Type.tMethod or Type.tClass. For classes, arrays and method types a sub class of class type is created which defines the extra type components. WARNING: The contents of this source file are not part of any supported API. Code that depends on them does so at its own risk: they are subject to change or removal without notice.
