Type of synonyms in java

Question

Anyway (a workaround) to define type synonyms in Java, similar to the following definition in Scala?

type Row = List[Int]; 

---

Although this may not be exactly the same, I was thinking of the following code (I replaced List with ArrayList, since List is an interface in Java):

 public class Row extends ArrayList<Integer>{} 

Is there any other way to achieve type synonyms in java?

Answer 1

Unfortunately not. See Is there a Java equivalent or methodology for the typedef keyword in C ++? for an older duplicate of this question, using C ++ terminology instead of Scala terminology.
