Interface EGenericType

All Superinterfaces:

EObject, Notifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

EGenericTypeImpl

public interface EGenericType
extends EObject

A representation of the model object 'EGeneric Type'. A generic type is analogous to Java 5.0 Type. It can represent a reference to a type parameter, a reference to a classifier, along with optional type arguments if the classifier specify type parameters, or a wildcard with an optional upper or lower bound.

Since:

2.3

The following features are supported:

• EUpper Bound
• EType Arguments
• ERaw Type
• ELower Bound
• EType Parameter
• EClassifier

Method Detail

getEUpperBound

EGenericType getEUpperBound()

Returns the value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

A generic type with an upper bound T, is equivalent to "? extends T" in Java.

Returns:

the value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

containment="true"

setEUpperBound

void setEUpperBound(EGenericType value)

Sets the value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

getETypeArguments

EList<EGenericType> getETypeArguments()

Returns the value of the 'EType Arguments' containment reference list. The list contents are of type EGenericType.

These represent the template arguments applied to a classifier with type parameters, e.g., Map<T>.

Returns:

the value of the 'EType Arguments' containment reference list.

getERawType

EClassifier getERawType()

This represents the erased or raw type of the generic type.

Returns:

the value of the 'ERaw Type' reference.

getELowerBound

EGenericType getELowerBound()

Returns the value of the 'ELower Bound' containment reference.

A generic type with a lower bound T, is equivalent to "? super T" in Java.

Returns:

the value of the 'ELower Bound' containment reference.
