treehugger | treehugger.scala is a library to code Scala | Plugin library

In my scala code I have a Class[_ <: AnyVal] instance, such as the one obtained from classOf[Int].

When I try to obtain the scala type name from this (using classOf[Int].getName), I am expecting to see "scala.Int", but instead I am getting the primitive Java type's name: "int"

How can I get the scala type name from my Class variable, in case I am dealing with either a java primitive equivalent, or the default boxed java equivalent (such as java.lang.Integer)

In case you are wondering why I would need this; I am generating some scala code using treehugger, and the information about whether I need to generate e.g. a scala.Int comes from a library that provides a Class[_]
