    Description

      Various classes in java.lang.reflect have been updated in Tiger with "generic" versions of existing methods to provide generic and non-generic views of their type information; e.g. getGenericExceptionTypes, getGenericParameterTypes, etc. However, the toString methods of these classes still only print out non-generic type information about the objects. A toGenericString method would allow a more accurate representation of the type to be displayed.
