Interface Superclass

All Superinterfaces:
ClassElement, ClassFileElement
public sealed interface Superclass extends ClassElement
Models the superclass (JVMS 4.1) of a class. A Superclass appears at most once in a ClassModel: it must be absent for module descriptors or the Object class, and must be present otherwise. A ClassBuilder sets the Object class as the superclass if the superclass is not supplied and the class to build is required to have a superclass.

All interfaces have Object as their superclass.
