```
@Deprecated(since="9",
            forRemoval=true)
public interface TypeVariable
extends Type
```
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
The declarations in this package have been superseded by those in the package jdk.javadoc.doclet. For more information, see the Migration Guide in the documentation for that package.

Represents a type variable. For example, the generic interface List<E> has a single type variable E. A type variable may have explicit bounds, as in C<R extends Remote>.
