This
interface extends
Type and represents the generic type represented
by a type variable. getName(
)
returns the name of the type variable, as it was declared in Java
source code. getBounds(
) returns an array of
Type objects that serve as the upper bounds for
the variable. The returned array is never empty: if the type variable
has no bounds declared, the single element of the array is
Object.class. The getGenericDeclaration(
) method returns the Class,
Method, or Constructor that
declared this type variable (each of these classes implements the
GenericDeclaration interface). Note that
TypeVariable is itself a generic type and is
parameterized with the kind of GenericDeclaration
that declared the variable.
