Field Detail

immutableTypeNames

public static java.util.Set<java.lang.String> immutableTypeNames

The names of the immutable types. This is public so that clients can extend it with bug fixes or application-specific types. (Or, make a pull request to add more types to this file.)

The set generally does not contain interfaces, because types that implement an interface may be mutable even if the interface provides no mutating methods.
