Only the obvious things really. With reflection you can use Class.getGenericSuperclass() to get a Type that describes the super class in generic terms (including the complicated stuff) and the compiler uses it to determine what exactly you can do with the class. The subinterfaces of java.lang.reflect.Type give you a pretty good idea of what Japi would need to understand to acurately support of the generics features. I have to warn you though, when I originally look at it I kind of lost hope... ;-) Regards, Jeroen _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
