[picocontainer-dev] Introducing JType

Hi there,

I've recently open-sourced a small Java 5 type library that may be of
use to improve PicoContainer's support for generic types.  Here's some
of the features that you may be interested in:

* It provides a Type equivalent of Class.isAssignableFrom that handles
parameterized types.  This could be used to improve injection when a
component demands a type such as PaymentMethod<CreditCard> when
multiple PaymentMethod implementations are registered in the
container.

* It provides a generic type literal Generic<T> which can be used to
achieve the same type-safe component registrations a la Guice's
TypeLiteral<T>.

* It provides a type factory Types which can be used to easily create
implementations of the various Type subtypes.

It is currently hosted here: http://code.google.com/p/jtype/

Hope this is of interest and let me know if you need any more info.

Cheers,

Mark
