  - make
```
public static CoreReflectionFactory make(GenericDeclaration d,
                         Scope s)
```
    Factory for this class. Returns an instance of CoreReflectionFactory for the declaration and scope provided. This factory will produce reflective objects of the appropriate kind. Classes produced will be those that would be loaded by the defining class loader of the declaration d (if d is a type declaration, or by the defining loader of the declaring class of d otherwise.
    Type variables will be created or lookup as necessary in the scope s.
    
    Parameters:
    d - - the generic declaration (class, interface, method or constructor) that thsi factory services
    s - the scope in which the factory will allocate and search for type variables
    
    Returns:
    an instance of CoreReflectionFactory
  - makeTypeVariable
```
public TypeVariable<?> makeTypeVariable(String name,
                               FieldTypeSignature[] bounds)
```
    Description copied from interface: GenericsFactory
    
    Returns a new type variable declaration. Note that name may be empty (but not null). If bounds is empty, a bound of java.lang.Object is used.
    
    Specified by:
    
    makeTypeVariable in interface GenericsFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the type variable
    bounds - An array of abstract syntax trees representing the upper bound(s) on the type variable being declared
    
    Returns:
    a new type variable declaration
  - makeWildcard
```
public WildcardType makeWildcard(FieldTypeSignature[] ubs,
                        FieldTypeSignature[] lbs)
```
    Description copied from interface: GenericsFactory
    
    Returns a new wildcard type variable. If ubs is empty, a bound of java.lang.Object is used.
    
    Specified by:
    
    makeWildcard in interface GenericsFactory
    
    Parameters:
    ubs - An array of abstract syntax trees representing the upper bound(s) on the type variable being declared
    lbs - An array of abstract syntax trees representing the lower bound(s) on the type variable being declared
    
    Returns:
    a new wildcard type variable
  - makeParameterizedType
```
public ParameterizedType makeParameterizedType(Type declaration,
                                      Type[] typeArgs,
                                      Type owner)
```
    Description copied from interface: GenericsFactory
    
    Return an instance of the ParameterizedType interface that corresponds to a generic type instantiation of the generic declaration declaration with actual type arguments typeArgs. If owner is null, the declaring class of declaration is used as the owner of this parameterized type.
    This method throws a MalformedParameterizedTypeException under the following circumstances: If the type declaration does not represent a generic declaration (i.e., it is not an instance of GenericDeclaration). If the number of actual type arguments (i.e., the size of the array typeArgs) does not correspond to the number of formal type arguments. If any of the actual type arguments is not an instance of the bounds on the corresponding formal.
    
    Specified by:
    
    makeParameterizedType in interface GenericsFactory
    
    Parameters:
    declaration - - the generic type declaration that is to be instantiated
    typeArgs - - the list of actual type arguments
    
    Returns:
    - a parameterized type representing the instantiation of the declaration with the actual type arguments
  - findTypeVariable
```
public TypeVariable<?> findTypeVariable(String name)
```
    Description copied from interface: GenericsFactory
    
    Returns the type variable with name name, if such a type variable is declared in the scope used to create this factory. Returns null otherwise.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findTypeVariable in interface GenericsFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - - the name of the type variable to search for
    
    Returns:
    - the type variable with name name, or null
  - makeNamedType

```
    Specified by:
    
    makeNamedType in interface GenericsFactory
  - makeArrayType
```
public Type makeArrayType(Type componentType)
```
    Description copied from interface: GenericsFactory
