Method from javax.lang.model.element.TypeParameterElement Summary:
getBounds, getEnclosingElement, getGenericElement

Method from javax.lang.model.element.TypeParameterElement Detail:
public List<TypeMirror> getBounds() Returns the bounds of this type parameter. These are the types given by the {@code extends} clause used to declare this type parameter. If no explicit {@code extends} clause was used, then {@code java.lang.Object} is considered to be the sole bound.
public Element getEnclosingElement() Returns the {@linkplain TypeParameterElement#getGenericElement generic element} of this type parameter.
public Element getGenericElement() Returns the generic class, interface, method, or constructor that is parameterized by this type parameter.
