Interface XTypeFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:
ReflectionTypeFactory
public interface XTypeFactory
Factory for XClass implementations based on a given java.lang.Class or a javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror. The factory must ensure it returns the exact same XClass instance for multiple calls with the same argument, or an argument that represents the same type, either in the form of a java.lang.Class or a javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror. This ensures that produced XClass instances can be safely compared by reference equality.
