[Moose-dev] Re: FAMIX and Java Generics

Speaking of that, I have a doubt: If I have a declaration: Map<String,Object> anAttribute; I will create a ParameterizedType (named Map) with TypeParameters String and Object; and pointing to its ParameterizableClass Map (this time the generic definition). What should be the container of the ParameterizedType? At first, I thought I would define it as an internal type of the class owning 'anAttribute' because the parameterizedType is actually created at this very moment. But then it could also be owned by 'java.lang' the package that owns the ParameterizableClass Map. Having 'anAttribute' appearing in moose with: "DeclaredType: some::package::A_Class::Map<java::lang::String,java::lang::Object>" can be confusing. And it would get even worst if we were considering a method's parameter, whereas: "DeclaredType: java::util::Map<java::lang::String,java::lang::Object>" seems to be more intuitive. But on the other hand, we loose some information in the second case. nicolas ----- Mail original -----
