java 语言类型,"Java编程语言类型"的定义是什么?

Searching the web I didn't find a definition for the term "Java programming language type". I stepped over it several times, when I was reading Oracle's JEE tutorial:

Sometimes I think all Java classes are meant by the expression, including those I define myself, sometimes I think only those that are shipped with Java.

If a "Java programming language type" is just any Java class, why do they use such an expression here? Also I found the term "Java programming language class", but I think these two things mean the same.

The full formal definition of type is what is defined in the JLS at the following link.

Basically in java there are two kind of types:

primitives

references

Primitives are:

int

long

short

byte

boolean

char

float

double

References are:

classes

interfaces

arrays

All others definitions are for types supported by some framework or libraries.
