    Returns:
    
    true if this type and the supplied type are members of the same nest group.
  - isNestMateOf
```
public boolean isNestMateOf(TypeDescription typeDescription)
```
    Description copied from class: TypeDescription.AbstractBase
    
    Checks if this type and the supplied type are members of the same nest group.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isNestMateOf in interface TypeDescription
    
    Overrides:
    
    isNestMateOf in class TypeDescription.AbstractBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    typeDescription - The type for which to check if it is a member of the same nest group.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type and the supplied type are members of the same nest group.
  - getRecordComponents
```
public RecordComponentList<RecordComponentDescription.InDefinedShape> getRecordComponents()
```
    Returns the list of record components that are declared by this type. If this type is not a record, the returned list is empty.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRecordComponents in interface TypeDefinition
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRecordComponents in interface TypeDescription
    
    Returns:
    
    A list of record components that this type declares.
  - isRecord
```
public boolean isRecord()
```
    Checks if this type is a Java record.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isRecord in interface TypeDefinition
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type is a Java record.
  - isSealed
```
public boolean isSealed()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeDescription.AbstractBase
    
    Returns true if this class is a sealed class that only permitts a specified range of subclasses.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isSealed in interface TypeDescription
    
    Overrides:
    
    isSealed in class TypeDescription.AbstractBase
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this class is a sealed class that only permitts a specified range of subclasses.
  - getPermittedSubtypes
```
public TypeList getPermittedSubtypes()
```
    Returns the list of permitted direct subclasses if this class is a sealed class. Permitted subclasses might or might not be resolvable, where unresolvable subclasses might also be missing from the list. For returned types, methods that return the class's name will always be invokable without errors. If this type is not sealed, an empty list is returned. Note that an empty list might also be returned for a sealed type, if no type permitted subtype is resolvable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPermittedSubtypes in interface TypeDescription
    
    Returns:
    
    The list of permitted subtypes or an empty list if this type is not sealed.
  - getClassFileVersion
```
@MaybeNull
 @CachedReturnPlugin.Enhance(value="classFileVersion")
public ClassFileVersion getClassFileVersion()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeDescription.AbstractBase
    
    Attempts to resolve the class file version of this type. If this description is not based on a class file or if the class file version cannot be resolved, null is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getClassFileVersion in interface TypeDescription
    
    Overrides:
    
    getClassFileVersion in class TypeDescription.AbstractBase
    
    Returns:
    
    This type's class file version or null if it cannot be resolved.
