      • TypeReference

        public TypeReference()
        Creates a new instance of TypeReference. This class implements Super Type Tokens (Gafter's Gadget) as a way to get a reference to generic types in spite of type erasure since, sadly, Foo<Bar>.class is not valid Java. To get the Type of Class Foo<Bar>, use the following syntax: 
        
 Type fooBarType = (new TypeReference<Foo<Bar>>() { }).getType();
        To get the Type of class Foo, use a regular Type Token: 
        
 Type fooType = Foo.class;
