Method Detail
getAnnotatedLowerBounds
AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedLowerBounds()
Returns the potentially annotated lower bounds of this wildcard type. If no lower bound is explicitly declared, the lower bound is the type of null. In this case, a zero length array is returned.- Returns:
- the potentially annotated lower bounds of this wildcard type or an empty array if no lower bound is explicitly declared.

AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedUpperBounds()
Returns the potentially annotated upper bounds of this wildcard type. If no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is unannotatedObject
- Returns:
- the potentially annotated upper bounds of this wildcard type

AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()
Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is@TA O<T>.I<S>
, return a representation of@TA O<T>
