Class Type

public class Type extends Object

Deprecated: This class is part of the java-gnome 2.x family of libraries, which, due to their inefficiency and complexity, are no longer being maintained and have been abandoned by the java-gnome project. This class does not have an equivalent in java-gnome 4.0,

This class represents the GLib Runtime type identification and management system. It provides the facilities for registering and managing all fundamental data types. It should be for internal use only and not be exposed outside of the library.
