I was going to answer "you can use LowLevelCAS.ll_getTypeClass(int
typeCode)" but I see that Bhavani failed to update that method for the
new types. I will have to deal with the same thing in the CVD one of
these days. When I do, I'll go back to the annotation viewer and see if
I can straighten things out.
(I apologize if I sent this already... I meant to, but I don't see it
anywhere now that I look.)
What would have been nice is a common superinterface of all the
primitive array types, which defines a toStringArray() method. The
toStringArray() methods are already there on the impls, but there's no
superinterface that I can use to get at them.
