JavaParameter is used by the Java bridge to represent the parameter of a Java method. However, there are several problems with the class ...
- The getJNIType() method is simply the cached result of the trivial JNITypeFromClassName() utility method acting on m_type. It seems odd to cache the result of a utility method.
- The class is really just a wrapper around the m_type string, so isn't worth the code complexity overhead.
- It exposes details of JNI in its API. This prevents us from providing a clean interface for JavaInstance/JavaClass etc which does not depend on a JNI/jobject implementation. See Bug 55383.
