Direct supertypes

Indirect supertypes

Known direct subtypes

Predicates

commonSubtype	A common (reflexive, transitive) subtype of the erasures of types `t1` and `t2`, if it exists.
declaresField	Holds if this type declares a field with the specified name.
declaresMethod	Holds if this type declares a method with the specified name.
declaresMethod	Holds if this type declares a method with the specified name and number of parameters.
extendsOrImplements	Holds if `t` is an immediate super-type of this type using only the immediate `extends` or `implements` relationships. In particular, this excludes parameter containment sub-typing for parameterized types.
getACallable	Gets a method or constructor declared in this type.
getAConstructor	Gets a constructor declared in this type.
getADescendant	Gets a direct or indirect descendant of this type, including itself.
getAField	Gets a field declared in this type.
getAMember	Gets a member declared in this type.
getAMethod	Gets a method declared in this type.
getASourceSupertype	Gets the source declaration of a direct supertype of this type, excluding itself.
getAStrictAncestor	Gets a direct or indirect supertype of this type. This does not include itself, unless this type is part of a cycle in the type hierarchy.
getASubtype	Gets a direct subtype of this type.
getASupertype	Gets a direct supertype of this type.
getAnAncestor	Gets a direct or indirect supertype of this type, including itself.
getCompilationUnit	Gets the compilation unit in which this type is declared.
getEnclosingType	Gets the type in which this reference type is enclosed, if any.
getMetrics	Cast this reference type to a class that provides access to metrics information.
getNumberOfMethods	Gets the number of methods declared in this type.
getPackage	Gets the package in which this type is declared.
getQualifiedName	Gets the qualified name of this type, consisting of the package name followed by a `.` and the name of this type.
getSourceDeclaration	Gets the source declaration of this type.
getTypeDescriptor	Gets the JVM descriptor for this type, as used in bytecode.
hasMember	Holds if this type declares any members.
hasMethod	Holds if this type declares or inherits method `m`, which is declared in `declaringType`.
hasMethod	Holds if this type declares or inherits method `m`, which is declared in `declaringType`. Methods that would be inherited if they were public, but are not inherited due to being package protected, are also included and indicated by `hidden` being true.
hasQualifiedName	Holds if this type is declared in a specified package with the specified name.
hasSubtype	Holds if `t` is an immediate subtype of this type.
hasSupertype	Holds if `t` is an immediate supertype of this type.
inherits	Holds if this type declares or inherits the specified member.
isSourceDeclaration	Holds if this type is the same as its source declaration.
isTopLevel	Holds if this is a top-level type, which is not nested inside any other types.
nestedName	Gets the nested name of this type.
