Get type of a generic parameter in Java with reflection

Question

Is it possible to get the type of a generic parameter?

An example:

public final class Voodoo {
    public static void chill(List aListWithTy         


        

Answer 1

Appendix to @DerMike's answer for getting the generic parameter of a parameterized interface (using #getGenericInterfaces() method inside a Java-8 default method to avoid duplication):

import java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType; 

public class ParametrizedStuff {

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
interface Awesomable {
    default Class parameterizedType() {
        return (Class) ((ParameterizedType)
        this.getClass().getGenericInterfaces()[0])
            .getActualTypeArguments()[0];
    }
}

static class Beer {};
static class EstrellaGalicia implements Awesomable {};

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Type is: " + new EstrellaGalicia().parameterizedType());
    // --> Type is: ParameterizedStuff$Beer
}
