public interface TypeMirror extends AnnotatedConstruct
void.
  Types should be compared using the utility methods in Types.  There is no guarantee that any particular type will always
 be represented by the same object.
 
 To implement operations based on the class of an TypeMirror object, either use a visitor
 or use the result of the getKind() method.  Using instanceof is not necessarily a reliable idiom for
 determining the effective class of an object in this modeling
 hierarchy since an implementation may choose to have a single
 object implement multiple TypeMirror subinterfaces.

      P p)Applies a visitor to this type. | 
| boolean | equals(Object obj)Obeys the general contract of  Object.equals. | 
| TypeKind | getKind()Returns the  kindof this type. | 
| int | hashCode()Obeys the general contract of  Object.hashCode. | 
| String | toString()Returns an informative string representation of this type. |

Object.equals.
 This method does not, however, indicate whether two types represent
 the same type.
 Semantic comparisons of type equality should instead use
 Types.isSameType(TypeMirror, TypeMirror).
 The results of t1.equals(t2) and
 Types.isSameType(t1, t2) may differ.equals in class Objectobj - the object to be compared with this typetrue if the specified object is equal to this oneObject.hashCode(),
