Description
The JCK team has identified an apparent mismatch between the javax.lang.model.type hiearchy and the set of methods defined on the visitor interface.  This must be addressed before GA.
Comments
EVALUATION The proposed solution is to replace the "pseudo-type" interfaces VoidType and PackageType (neither have any methods) with a single NoType interface (also methodless) that represents all of the pseudo-types VOID, PACKAGE, and NONE. VOID, PACKAGE, and NONE remain distinct TypeKind values that can be dispatched on using a TypeKindVisitor. Adjust visitor methods accordingly.
