public static java.util.List getFoo(java.lang.String)
The above method returns a List<String>, but the javap command returns the above (it doesn’t show that the List is of type String). Is there a way to show the real type?
The type is a lie 🙂 Well seriously, that’s just compile time information. The entries of the list are casted to Strings when fetched from the collection, the list itself in bytecode format acts as any standard plain old List.
