Returns the resolved value. Resolved values are represented as follows:

    

  • Primitive type - the equivalent boxed object
    • 

  • java.lang.Class - the ITypeBinding for the class object
    • 

  • java.lang.String - the string value itself
    • 

  • enum type - the IVariableBinding for the enum constant
    • 

  • annotation type - an IAnnotationBinding
    • 

  • array type - an Object[] whose elements are as per above
(the language only allows single dimensional arrays in annotations)
    • 



Returns:the resolved value, or null if none exists
