INTERNAL: A metadata factory is used to extract class information. It is used when processing the metadata model. By default, metadata processing uses an ASM factory, however tools that require a different form of processing, like the APT processor which uses mirrors, can build their own factory by sub-classing this one and supply it at processing time.

resolveGenericTypes	back to summary
public abstract void resolveGenericTypes(MetadataClass child, List<String> genericTypes, MetadataClass parent, MetadataDescriptor descriptor) INTERNAL: This method resolves generic types based on the ASM class metadata. Unless every other factory (e.g. APT mirror factory) respects the generic format as built from ASM this method will not work since it is very tied to it.
