public Interface TypeVariable

extends Type
Imports
java.util.List
Type variables represent type parameters declared on generic classes or methods. All type variables have bounds. A type variable with no bound declared is equivalent to a type variable with a single bound of java.lang.Object and is represented as such. If one bound is declared, it is a type variable or a class type, possibly parameterized. If more than one bound is declared, the first bound is a class type or an interface type, possibly parameterized, and the following bounds are interface types, possibly parameterized.
