23  * PrimitiveType class proxy interface.
24  * Class representing Java primitive types. Name of the primitive type is
25  * immutable and is derived from the kind attribute that determines which
26  * primitive type this object represents. The name always matches the Java
27  * keyword representing the primitive type in Java source code. Set of instances
28  * of this object is given and the instances cannot be created explicitly.
29  * One can get all instances of a primitive type using refAllOfClass or TypeClass.resolveType
30  * methods.
31  *
32  * <p><em><strong>Note:</strong> This type should not be subclassed or implemented
33  * by clients. It is generated from a MOF metamodel and automatically implemented
34  * by MDR (see <a HREF="http://mdr.netbeans.org/">mdr.netbeans.org</a>).</em></p>
