  Description     : Helper library for the Java 5 Type
 Java 5 introduced a richer type system for generics with Type and its various                                                
 subtypes, but lacks any easy way to perform common operations on these types.                                                
 JType aims to fill this gap.                                                                                                 
 .                                                                                                                            
 Features:                                                                                                                    
  - A factory to easily create implementations of the various type interfaces.                                                
  - Methods to compare and manipulate type instances, such as checking whether                                                
    a type is a subtype of another.                                                                                           
  - A generic type literal that provides an equivalent of class literals for                                                  
    types.
