Package de.javagl.reflection Description

Utility classes related to reflection.

Many things can go wrong when using reflection. Nearly all methods will ask a SecurityManager for permission to perform their respective task. Other possible reasons for errors are, for example, methods that have been renamed and are thus no longer found under the name that is given in the reflective call, or limited visibility of the classes or methods.

Be sure to only use these utilities when you know what you're doing.

Many methods in these utilities come in two flavors:

• An ...Unchecked version, which wraps all exceptions of the underlying call into an unchecked ReflectionException
• An ...Optional version, which returns null (or empty lists, where applicable) if the underlying call causes an exception
