org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ArrayType

Type node for an array type.

In JLS8 and later, array types are represented by a base element type (which cannot be an array type) and a list of dimensions, each of which may have a list of annotations.

 ArrayType:  Type Dimension { Dimension }

In JLS4 and before, array types were expressed in a recursive manner, one dimension at a time:

 ArrayType: Type [ ]

This structure became untenable with the advent of type-use annotations, because in the language model, the base type binds with array dimensions from right to left, whereas a recursive structure binds from left to right (inside out).

Example:
int @A[] @B[] @C[] is an @A-array of
int @B[] @C[], but such a component type is not representable by nested ArrayTypes with contiguous source ranges. @since 2.0 @noinstantiate This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

      factory.setTypeName(ast.newName("Factory"));
      md.modifiers().add(factory);


      // Make the method public
      md.modifiers().addAll(ast.newModifiers(Modifier.PUBLIC | Modifier.STATIC));
      ArrayType returnType = ast.newArrayType(ast.newSimpleType(ast.newName("Object")));
      md.setReturnType2(returnType);


      // Create the method invocation "ConversionUtils.wrapDataProvider(Foo.class, data())"
      MethodInvocation mi = ast.newMethodInvocation();
      mi.setName(ast.newSimpleName("wrapDataProvider"));
