This https://www.java.com[Java] library provides a factory to create generic `java.lang.reflect.Type` variations, such as `Map`.

=== Features

* Factory methods to create generic types, including wildcards.

=== Development Status

All currently required feature are implemented. This project is in maintenance mode.

== Usage

[source,java]

----

// Map

final Type type = GenericTypes.generic(Map.class, Number.class, Point.class);

// List

final Type type = GenericTypes.generic(List.class, Number.class);

----

Super- and subtypes such as `List super Point>` or `List extends Number>` can be created in the following way:

[source,java]

----

// List super Point>

final Type type = GenericTypes.generic(List.class, GenericTypes.supertype(Point.class));

// List extends Number>

final Type type = GenericTypes.generic(List.class, GenericTypes.subtype(Number.class));

----

Use static imports to shorten the above calls to:

[source,java]

----

// List super Point>

final Type type = generic(List.class, supertype(Point.class));

// List extends Number>

final Type type = generic(List.class, subtype(Number.class));

----

and then go crazy with this:

[source,java]

----

// List>

final Type type = generic(List.class, generic(Map.class, subtype(Number.class), supertype(Point.class)));

----

=== Integration

To use this project just declare the following dependency inside your POM:

[source,xml,subs="attributes,verbatim"]

----

  

    {project-group}

    {project-name}

    ${version.generic-types}

  

----

Replace `${version.generic-types}` with the pass:[latest release]. This project follows the link:http://semver.org/[semantic versioning guidelines].
