bind

public Type bind(Type type)

Description copied from interface: TypeEnvironment

Binds as many generic components of the given type as possible in this context.

Warning: if the returned Type is a Class, then it's guaranteed to be a regular Java Class. In all other cases, this method might return a custom implementation of some interface that extends Type. Be sure not to mix these objects with with Java's implementations of Type to avoid potential identity problems.

This class does not support bindings involving inner classes or upper/lower bounds.

Specified by:

bind in interface TypeEnvironment

Returns:

a type where the generic arguments have been replaced by raw classes whenever this is possible.
