Class Primitive<T extends Primitive<T>>

java.lang.Object

craterdog.core.Primitive<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The concrete type of the primitive object.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Comparable<T>

public abstract class Primitive<T extends Primitive<T>>
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Comparable<T>

This abstract class provides implementations for the standard methods defined in the Object class that can be used by all immutable primitive objects. Since primitives are immutable there is no need for support for the clone() method so it is disabled.
