30 Compile-time representation of Java type system. |
|
31 |
|
32 <p> |
|
33 These classes are used as TypeT and ClassDeclT of the model parameterization. |
|
34 This implementaion is designed to be capable of representing pre-existing classes |
|
35 (such as java.lang.String) as well as the generated classes (represented as JDefinedClass.) |

37 <h2>Handling of Primitive Types</h2> |
|
38 <p> |
|
39 Primitive types have two forms (int and Integer), and this complicates the binding process. |
|
40 For this reason, inside the front end, we always use the boxed types. We'll use the unboxed |
|
41 form only in the back end when we know the field doesn't need to represent the null value. |
