Class IntrospectedCodeClass

java.lang.Object

org.biojava.utils.bytecode.IntrospectedCodeClass

All Implemented Interfaces:

CodeClass

public class IntrospectedCodeClass
extends Object
implements CodeClass

CodeClass instances that represent normal Java Class objects.

Instances of IntrospectedCodeClass are generated using the static factory methods named forClass(). These methods ensure that the same IntrospectedCodeClass instance is returned for multiple invocations with the same argument.
