[XBase] Find JvmType for specific class name? [message #1061639]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an XBase project and I need to compose the AST of an XExpression (in the JvmModelInferrer of course). This works very well by using XBaseFactory and the setters&getters of the expression classes, but now I'm at the point where I need to call a constructor to a JvmType. The problem is that all I know from this JvmType is its qualified name (as in: Java qualified name, e.g. "java.lang.RuntimeException"). The question is: how can I find or create the JvmType instance for a given qualified name? I've searched through various tutorials and info pages and the javadoc page of the XExpression and its subclasses, but I didn't find anything that suits this particular need.

Thanks,

Alan

I use the following

@Inject extension TypeReferences
@Inject extension JvmTypesBuilder

They provide both lookup of JvmTypes and creating JvmTypeReferences
