TypeMirror (Eclipse JDT API Specification)

All Known Subinterfaces:

AnnotationType, ArrayType, ClassType, DeclaredType, EnumType, InterfaceType, PrimitiveType, ReferenceType, TypeVariable, VoidType, WildcardType
```
public interface TypeMirror
```
Represents a type in the Java programming language. Types include primitive types, class and interface types, array types, and type variables. Wildcard type arguments, and the pseudo-type representing the type of void, are represented by type mirrors as well.
Types may be compared using the utility methods in Types. There is no guarantee that any particular type will always be represented by the same object.
