public JClass array()

Implements abstract com.sun.codemodel.JType.array.

Doc from com.sun.codemodel.JType.array.

Create an array type of this type. This method is undefined for primitive void type, which doesn't have any corresponding array representation.

public JClass boxify()

Implements abstract com.sun.codemodel.JType.boxify.

Obtains the wrapper class for this primitive type. For example, this method returns a reference to java.lang.Integer if this object represents int.

Deprecated

If this class is a wrapper type for a primitive, return the primitive type. Otherwise return this.

For example, for "java.lang.Integer", this method returns "int".

public JExpression unwrap(JExpression exp)

Do the opposite of the wrap method.

Revisit

it's not clear how this method works for VOID.

wrapback to summary
public JExpression wrap(JExpression exp)

Wraps an expression of this type to the corresponding wrapper class. For example, if this class represents "float", this method will return the expression new Float(x) for the paramter x.
