isComparableType

public static boolean isComparableType(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

isSimpleType

public static boolean isSimpleType(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

freshInstanceOf

public static <T> T freshInstanceOf(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)

typesOf

public static java.util.Set<java.lang.Class<?>> typesOf(java.lang.Object... values)

allAssignableFrom

public static boolean allAssignableFrom(java.lang.Class<?> sharedType,
                                        java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.lang.Class<?>> types)

mostSpecificSharedType

public static java.lang.Class<?> mostSpecificSharedType(java.util.Collection<java.lang.Class<?>> types)

This method will not extract the interfaces of the given types, since there is no way to determine, which interface is the most specific one (due to their compositional nature). However, if one or more interfaces are given as type, they will be considered as most specific shared type.

Returns:

The most specific class (or interface) shared by all given types.
