GenericType

- org.jboss.resteasy.util.GenericType<T>

```
@Deprecated
public class GenericType<T>
extends java.lang.Object
```
Deprecated.
Replaced by javax.ws.rs.core.GenericType
This class is a trick used to extract GenericType information at runtime. Java does not allow you get generic type information easily, so this class does the trick. For example:
```
 Type genericType = (new GenericType>() {}).getGenericType();
 
```
The above code will get you the genericType for List N.B. This class is replaced by javax.ws.rs.core.GenericType.

    entity - the entity instance, must not be null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if entity is null

    the raw type
