Et maintenant tu peux faire des choses comme :

equals(t1.getParamADT().getParameters().get(0).getRawType(), List.class);
}

}

Plus d'informations aquí . Mais là encore, il est presque impossible de le récupérer :
class SomeClass<T> extends CaptureType<T>{}
SomeClass<String> claz = new SomeClass<>();
où il est effacé.
