Class Generic<C>

java.lang.Object

an.awesome.pipelinr.Generic<C>

public abstract class Generic<C>
extends java.lang.Object

Resolves generic types (like <C> or List<R>) into concrete runtime types in the context of a given class. For example:

   abstract class IKnowMyType<T> {
    Generic<T> type = new Generic<T>(getClass()) {};
   }
   new IKnowMyType<String>() {}.type.resolve(); // String
 

Resolution happens lazily, upon resolve() invocation, by traversing the class hierarchy via reflection. Since it's a relatively heavy operation, it's performed only once; subsequent calls return the cached result.
