Get generic type of class at runtime

Question

How can I achieve this?

public class GenericClass
{
    public Type getMyType()
    {
        //How do I return the type of T?
    }
}

Here is working solution!!!

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    private Class getGenericTypeClass() {
        try {
            String className = ((ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0].getTypeName();
            Class clazz = Class.forName(className);
            return (Class) clazz;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Class is not parametrized with generic type!!! Please use extends <> ");
        }
    } 

NOTES: Can be used only as superclass
1. Has to be extended with typed class (Child extends Generic)
OR
2. Has to be created as anonymous implementation (new Generic() {};)
