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.

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>
