In Java, can “void” be considered a primitive type?

Question

I\'ve noticed eclipse JDT uses void as a primitive type. Can this be considered correct?

Answer 1

here is what written in javadoc you referenced:

Type code for the primitive type "void". Note that "void" is special in that its only legitimate uses are as a method return type and as a type literal.

Pay attention on the bold word. I think this explains everything.
