Some questions about JType :

Much of it is the same as the (much more juvenile) TypeOf that I was
evolving.  There are some things that I think I'll need though that your
don't have. I say this because I have a pending commit to replace 'TypeOf'
with 'Generic'.  Of course I could be wrong and you have equivalent features
that I can't see yet.

Needed Methods:

  isAssignableFrom(Class aClass)
  isAssignableTo(Class aClass)
  isPrimative()

Needed Constants

 INTEGER
 LONG
 VOID
 DOUBLE // etc

I'm also thinking that your toString() is the same as my getName()

Also a more general question... why did you not choose JType a the base
classname?  It feels close to what junior developers would feel comfortable
with given they understand "Class" and "Type".  Moreover, the get
factory-method also converts from regular Class (which in itself is not
'generic').

Obviously JType/Generic is more evolved than TypeOf.

I can send a patch-file if you want to take a look at this Mark :)
