  lombok.core.TypeLibrary

public class TypeLibrary
extends Object

Library of types, which can be used to look up potential matching types. For example, if you put 'foo.Spork' and 'bar.Spork' into the library, and then ask for all compatible types given the type 'Spork', you'll get both of them, but you'll only get the one if you ask for compatible types given 'foo.Spork'. Useful to 'guess' if a given annotation AST node matches an annotation handler's target annotation.
