public interface JavaType
This interface describes a Java type; i.e. its "element type" and its "array depth". The element type is referenced by name, allowing us to reference classes that are not (or cannot be) loaded. Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves. This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
