java.lang.Enum<TypeKind>
javax.lang.model.type.TypeKind
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<TypeKind>, Constable
public enum TypeKind extends Enum<TypeKind>
The kind of a type mirror.

Note that it is possible additional type kinds will be added to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java programming language.
