```
public ClassDescriptor resolve(java.lang.Class type)
```
    Try to resolve/generate a ClassDescriptor for the given (JPA annotated) type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The Java class that needs a descriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    Usually a ClassDescriptor representing the given Class or null if the given type can not be resolved. When this method is called recursively (as in bidirectional relations) a reference to an incomplete ClassDescriptor is returned, which will be finished when leaving the loop again.
