getGenericComponentType
public abstract Type getGenericComponentType ()
Returns a Type object representing the component type
of this array. This method creates the component type of the
array. See the declaration of ParameterizedType for the
semantics of the creation process for parameterized types and
see TypeVariable for the
creation process for type variables.
