Class type transformation?

Why does

var = java.util.List
println var

results in following output: interface java.util.List?

I would expect java.util.List to be printed instead. How can I achieve that?

The value you're seeing is the output of Class.toString(). If you need just the name, you can retrieve it using getName()

println var.getName()

Or, groovier:

println var.name

Both of which print java.util.List. getName() returns the fully-qualified name of the type, and would omit the class type added by the toString() method.
