Hi, I'm working with the interfaces that extend IBinding (e.g. ITypeBinding, IMethodBinding, etc.).

According to JLS3 §6.7., the canonical name is more "exclusive" than the qualified name.

But, how can I get the canonical name from the entity the binding represents?
For the qualified name, we have ITypeBinding.getQualifiedName()...

I think ITypeBinding.getQualifiedName() returns canonical names only.

Is there any way to confirm this? The documentation doesn't mention the canonical name being returned.

Well, you are supposed to use bindings to identify stuff. They should be
unique.

They aren't in the sense that the same entity may have more than one qualified name (JLS3 §6.7).
