## org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom
Class TypeParameter

    java.lang.Object
      org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTNode
          org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.TypeParameter

public class TypeParameter
extends ASTNode

Type parameter node (added in JLS3 API).

     TypeParameter:
        TypeVariable [ extends Type { & Type } ]

Note: This API element is only needed for dealing with Java code that uses new language features of J2SE 1.5. It is included in anticipation of J2SE 1.5 support, which is planned for the next release of Eclipse after 3.0, and may change slightly before reaching its final form.

Since:
  3.0

Field Summary
`static ChildPropertyDescriptor` | `NAME_PROPERTY` The "name" structural property of this node type.
`static ChildListPropertyDescriptor` | `TYPE_BOUNDS_PROPERTY` The "typeBounds" structural property of this node type.

`void` | `setName(SimpleName typeName)` Sets the name of the type variable of this type parameter to the given name.

Field Detail

### NAME_PROPERTY

    public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor NAME_PROPERTY

  The "name" structural property of this node type.

  Since:
    3.0

### TYPE_BOUNDS_PROPERTY

    public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_BOUNDS_PROPERTY

  The "typeBounds" structural property of this node type.

  Since:
    3.0

Method Detail

### propertyDescriptors

    public static List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

  Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

  Parameters:
    `apiLevel` - the API level; one of the `AST.JLS*` constants
  Returns:
    a list of property descriptors (element type: `StructuralPropertyDescriptor`)
  Since:
    3.0

### getName

    public SimpleName getName()

  Returns the name of the type variable declared in this type parameter.

  Returns:
    the name of the type variable

### setName

    public void setName(SimpleName typeName)

  Sets the name of the type variable of this type parameter to the given name.

  Parameters:
    `typeName` - the new name of this type parameter
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if:
    - the node belongs to a different AST
    - the node already has a parent

### typeBounds

    public List typeBounds()

  Returns the live ordered list of type bounds of this type parameter. For the type parameter to be plausible, there can be at most one class in the list, and it must be first, and the remaining ones must be interfaces; the list should not contain primitive types (but array types and parameterized types are allowed).

  Returns:
    the live list of type bounds (element type: `Type`)
