EE4J 10.0.0 · jakarta.enterprise.lang.model.types.WildcardType

A wildcard type. May have 3 forms:

? extends Number: has an upper bound
? super Number: has a lower bound
?: unbounded, has an implicit upper bound of java.lang.Object

Note that ? is equivalent to ? extends Object and is represented as such. Therefore, either upperBound() or lowerBound() always returns non-null.
