  - getName
```
public abstract java.lang.String getName()
```
    Description copied from interface: JavaType
    
    Gets the simplest name of this type with "[]"s if present.
    The name of a non-parameterized top-level type of the form "pkg.Cls" is "Cls".
    The name of a non-parameterized member type of the form "pkg.Cls.InnerClass" is "InnerClass".
    The name of an array type T[] is the name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.
    The name of a parameterized type is the same as the name of its raw type. That is, the name of "pkg.Cls<String>" is simply "Cls".
    The name of a wildcard type is always "?".
    The name of a type parameter type is the type parameter name.
    The name of a primitive type is the primitive type name.
    The name of a local inner class type is just its name.
    The name of an anonymous class type is the empty String.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in interface JavaHasName
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in interface JavaType
    
    Returns:
    The simple name of this type with "[]"s if present.
  - getQualifiedName
```
public abstract java.lang.String getQualifiedName()
```
    Description copied from interface: JavaType
    
    Gets the fully qualified name of this type in source format. Here, "source format" means the format of a type reference in a source compilation unit. A type's source name uniquely identifies a type in a specific scope but not in the global scope.
    The source name of a non-parameterized top-level type of the form "pkg.Cls" is "pkg.Cls".
    The source name of a non-parameterized member type of the form T.InnerClass (that is, a member type InnerClass that is a member of type T) is the source name of T suffixed with by ".InnerClass", e.g. "java.util.Map.Entry", "pkg.Cls<?>.InnerClass".
    The source name of a parameterized type starts with the source name of the raw type and lists the source name of all of its actual type argumenths, e.g. "java.util.List<java.lang.String>". The source name of an array type T[] is the source name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.
    The source name of a wildcard type is the string with which it would appear in a source file. The three possible forms this can take are: "?", "? extends T", "? super T".
    The source name of a type parameter type is just its name.
    The source name of a primitive type is the primitive type name.
    The source name of a local inner class type is just its name because a local inner class is referenced, in a source file, by its name.
    The name of an anonymous class type is the empty String.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getQualifiedName in interface JavaType
    
    Returns:
    The fully qualified source name for this type, empty for anonymous classes. Example values: java.lang.Object java.util.Map<String,String> java.lang.String[][]
  - getVMName
```
public abstract java.lang.String getVMName()
```
    Description copied from interface: JavaType
    
    Gets the VM name for this type. The JVMS3 defines an internal name format for raw classes. We call this the VM name of a type. It's useful for loading known types such as "java/lang/Object" and "java/lang/Throwable". Here is how we define the "VM name" for all types:
    The VM name of a non-parameterized top-level type of the form "pkg.Cls" is "pkg/Cls".
    The VM name of a non-parameterized member-level type of the form "pkg.Cls.InnerClass" is "pkg/Cls$InnerClass".
    The VM name of a parameterized type is the VM name of the raw type. Because parameterization is stripped at run-time, we will omit it from the VM name.
    The VM name of an array type T[] is the VM name of T suffixed by the appropriate number of "[]"s.
    The VM name of a local inner class or anonymous inner class is a string that uniquely identifies it from all other types and is usually prefixed with the VM name of its directly enclosing class. For example, the VM name for an anonymous inner class belonging to the type "pkg.Cls" may be "pkg/Cls$1" and the VM name for a local class of that type may be "pkg/Cls$1foo.
    The VM name of any other type is the same as its source name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getVMName in interface JavaType
    
    Returns:
    The binary name, also known as the VM name, of this type. e.g. "java/lang/Object", "java/util/Map$Entry"
  - getDescriptor
```
public abstract java.lang.String getDescriptor()
```
    Description copied from interface: JavaType
    
    Gets the descriptor for this type, as defined by the JVMS2. Note: The descriptor is equivalent to the type signature of this type's erasure.
    For jdk < 1.5, the "FieldDescriptor" is returned (JVMS2). For jdk < 1.5, descriptors and signatures are the same thing.
    For jdk >= 1.5, a type signature of the type erasure is returned.
    Note: Do not confuse a type's descriptor with a method's descriptor. The descriptor of the type of a method is the field descriptor describing its return type. The descriptor of a method describes parameter types.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDescriptor in interface JavaType
    
    Returns:
    The descriptor as defined in the JVMS2. Always non-null. Example values: "I", "Ljava/lang/Object;"

  - getResolvedType
```
public JavaType getResolvedType()
```
    Description copied from interface: JavaHasType
    
    A JavaField instance will return the field's type.
    A JavaMethod instance will return the method's return type.
    A JavaVariable instance will return the variable's type.
    A JavaType instance will return itself.
    An array is a special case, you can't determine the type of an array by its members, e.g. with { 0, 'e', (short)5 } the type could be int[], char[], short[], long[], Object[] and more. So for arrays the Null type (returns 'null' for the name) will be returned with the appropriate dimensions, e.g.: { "bar", "foo" } will have null[] type, { null, { null, 5, 5L } } will have null[][] type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getResolvedType in interface JavaHasType
    
    Returns:
    The type of this compiled object or null if the type could not be determined, usually because the type was not properly imported.

```
public JavaClass getOwningClass()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getOwningClass in interface JavaMember
    
    Returns:
    The owning class. If this is an instance of a generic field, then this will return an instance of the owning class as well. For example, consider:

    {
    C generic = new C();
    generic.field = null;
    
    C<String> specific = new C<String>();
    specific.field = null;
    }
    }
    
    If this instance represents the member field accessed by "generic.field", then getOwningClass will return the type for "C".
    If this instance represents the member field accessed by "specific.field", then getOwningClass will return the type for "C<String>".
    Further, the expressions "generic.field" and "specific.field" do not refer to the same JavaField instance.

    Gets the "Signature" attribute of this type, as defined by the JVMS3.
    The "Signature" attribute for a field is the "ClassTypeSignature" for its type.
    The "Signature" attribute for a method involves the "ClassSignature"s for its type parameters and the "ClassTypeSignature"s of its remaining constituent types.
    A JavaClass returns its "ClassSignature" (JVMS3).
    A JavaTypeVariable does not have a class signature, but will return a string for use in a class signature or a method signature.
    A WildcardType does not have a class signature and may not part of a class signature. Its return value is undefined.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSignature in interface JavaType
