Hi There,

I have a class which maps a name to a class like so:

class Mapping {
   private String name;
   private Class runner;

   public Mapping(String name, Class runnerClass){
       m_name  = name;
       m_runner = runnerClass;
   }
}

What I want to be able to do is to change that so the runnerClass can
be defined as only being the Class object of a Class which extends a
specific class ("EditorRunner" in this case).

Something like this compiles, but doesn't give the required results:

class Mapping {
   private String name;
   private Class<EditorRunner> runner;

   public Mapping(String name, Class<EditorRunner> runnerClass){

       m_name  = name;
       m_runner = runnerClass;
   }
}

With this latter code, it works for EditorRunner.class as a parameter
but not for the .class member of any subclass of EditorRunner.

Anyone know how I can get the desired effect?

Cheers,

Peter.
