Hi,
I'm looking for a utility to convert the Java generic type declaration to
signature such as the method Signature.createTypeSignature(). But it doesn't
work for generic type. For example:
Signature.createTypeSignature("java.util.Collection<E>", true)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.util.Collection<E>
at
org.eclipse.jdt.core.Signature.createCharArrayTypeSignature( Signature.java:623)
at org.eclipse.jdt.core.Signature.createTypeSignature(Signature .java:595)
at org.eclipse.jdt.core.Signature.createTypeSignature(Signature .java:887)
thanks
julien

I think you know, Java's GenericType is much different from c/c++.
Vector<Object> and Vector<String> is perfectly same on runtime, and
there is a only single class. there is a no way to identificate them
while run-time. So, for any reason, we can't use genric-type on
run-time. generic datas are lost on compile time.
there are several reasosn why sun develpoed like this. anyway biggest
one is for type-safety. SUN wanted to know miss-casting during compile.
so JDK5.0 don't allow runtime-generic.
