I'm wondering if this is possible - and after much digging, it seems
that it isn't. I have the following piece of code:
ArrayList<String> stringArray = new ArrayList<String>();
Class c = stringArray.getClass();
Is it possible to, somehow, get "java.lang.String" from c?
Or is that information lost after compiling?
Generics are implemented by "type erasure." At runtime, any reference to
"java.lang.String" is long-since gone, so it can't be returned by any
reflective method.
Thought so. Adam, thanks for clarification.
