Type synonyms in java

Question

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

type Row = List[Int];

---

Though it might 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 synonym mechanism 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.
