public List<? extends TypeMirror> getParameterTypes()

Returns the types of this executable's formal parameters.

Returns:List<? extends TypeMirror>

the types of this executable's formal parameters, or an empty list if there are none

getReceiverTypeback to summary
public TypeMirror getReceiverType()

Returns the receiver type of this executable, or NoType with kind NONE if the executable has no receiver type. An executable which is an instance method, or a constructor of an inner class, has a receiver type derived from the declaring type. An executable which is a static method, or a constructor of a non-inner class, or an initializer (static or instance), has no receiver type.

Returns:TypeMirror

the receiver type of this executable
