JarCastingJavaPoet TypeGuesser 
Ever wanted to call ClassName.bestGuess("int") or ClassName.bestGuess("java.util.List<java.lang.Integer>")? This project provides an extension to JavaPoet that allows you to do just that. Simply replace the call to ClassName.bestGuess(String) with a call to TypeGuesser.guessTypeName(String) which is able to parse everything that ClassName can and additionally is fine with primitives, generics, wildcards and arrays.
Features

Development Status
All currently required features are implemented. This project is in maintenance mode. Take a look at the open tickets for ways to help out or create a new ticket yourself.
Usage
Use the TypeGuesser class as a replacement for ClassName like this:
import de.xn__ho_hia.javapoet.TypeGuesser;
TypeName guessedType = TypeGuesser.guessTypeName("...");
Take a look at the test cases for types that can and cannot be parsed by this project.
Integration
To use this project just declare the following dependency inside your POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>de.xn--ho-hia.javapoet</groupId>
<artifactId>javapoet-type-guesser</artifactId>
<version>${version.javapoet-type-guesser}</version>
</dependency>
Replace ${version.javapoet-type-guesser} with the latest release. This project is continuously deployed and uses a date based versioning approach. I vow not to break any of its API ever, thus it is safe to use an open version range like (1.0.0,) as a replacement for ${version.javapoet-type-guesser}.
