How to get a IType from a class name ? [message #299872]

Hi,

how can I get a IType instance for a specific complete class name?
(like 'org.mypackage.MyBean'). The class name can be referencing both
a source file or a binary type (.class file).

I need an API like:

IType t = findType(myClassName);

Another question is: suppose I have a IType and from this a get a IMethod
instance. How I can get the return type (as an IType) from the IMethod
object?
The current IMethod.getReturnType() return just an encoded method
signature String (and I didn't find how to resolve this using the
Signature class).

Thanks in advance
Angelo

Use:
ICompilationUnit comp = JavaCore.createCompilationUnitFrom(IFile)
IType type = comp.findPrimaryType();

for your second question:
private boolean returnsVoid(IMethod method) throws JavaModelException {
return method.getReturnType().charAt(0) == Signature.C_VOID;
}
