Basic Data Types as Class Objects

Question

Consider the following code using the java.lang.reflect.Method
Class c = Class.forName("java.util.Date");
// get all methods in Date
Method[] c_classes = c.getMethods();
// get the UTC method - UTC(int year, int month, int date, int hrs, int min, int sec)
Method m = c_classes[0];
// get the parameters (all int)
Class[] p = m.getParameterTypes();
This gives a Class array of basic data types (in this case int) - in debug the variable is of type "class" with value "0x16d9220:class(int)"
How do you create a Class object of a basic data type from scratch? I've tried Class.forName("int") and get an exception.

Answer 1

You could use the class literals.
Class[] primitiveTypes = {
boolean.class,
byte.class,
char.class,
double.class,
float.class,
int.class,
long.class,
short.class,
Cheers, that's exactly what I needed.
