Interface UnifiedTypeFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

ReflectionClassFactory

public interface UnifiedTypeFactory

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 exact same parameter, or a parameter that represents the same type, either in the form of a java.lang.Class or a javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror. This ensures that XClasses can be safely compared by reference equality.
